The Wednesday Walk this week was from Ely to March on The Hereward Way (I now know why he was called Hereward The Wake<\/a> – obviously because he had to wade or boat through all the fens leaving a wake behind him!). <\/a>This also is part of the E2<\/a> connecting The Fen Rivers Way<\/a> to The Nene Valley Way<\/p>\n

Just look at this elevation profile. The first spot is near Ely cathedral  at 20 metres above sea level the next is Little Downham at 19 metres. <\/p>\n

A good day we did 22.3 miles in 6 hour 12 min’s of walking plus I managed to get Sally to stop for 25mins (including a pint at the Lamb and Flag  in Welney  a delightful little village)<\/p>\n

The worst bit was walking along the top of the dead straight 100ft drain bank. Otherwise a recommended walk for anyone in Cambridge with decent train links to March and Ely.<\/p>\n

What ever you do don’t rely on seeing to many signposts. I guess the money must have run out so they are very sparse indeed.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/a>The bridges also leave something to be desired, this one is near to the Nene at TL 46395 99483<\/p>\n

 However, there is money for windmills here there is a small farm of 8 turbines on the other side of the Nene.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
