Today’s walk was a very modest 10 miler with the B team of Cambridge Rambling Club. 22 of us departed from The Green Man PH , allegedly in Shepreth but actually just outside Melbourn. We had two outstanding  bloggers  Ellee<\/a> & Sally<\/a> with us as well \ud83d\ude42 <\/p>\n

I was designated the back marker, which was interesting for me. I realised for the first time that the back marker actually sets the pace whereas the leader sets the direction. Also, a good lesson learnt is how crucial it is that the leader makes sure they can always see the back marker!<\/p>\n

The pace was at 2.6mph compared to the A teams 3mph+ the other difference is the B team spend substanially longer in the pub at lunchtime. The overall result is that in the same time we did 18miles last week we did 10miles this week. <\/p>\n

Given the leisurely pace and been on my own at the rear, I was able to play with the latest 3.1 release of Everytrail<\/a> for the iPhone. It has to be said its a real corker! works exceptionally well, even handling incoming phone calls without crashing. Plus talking pictures and annotating them is a breeze. A really cool feature is that it continues to work with the screen off and in the breast pocket of my jacket. The uploaded trail is here:-<\/p>\n

I also plotted the trip using my conventional GPS and camera. These are up on Everytrail too. The morning walk around Meldreth is here<\/a> . The afternoon walk with the twitchers<\/a> at Fowlmere nature reserve<\/a> is here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
