Overview

We organise on Meetup, so please sign up at the website link below to let us know you are coming.

Meet at 10:45 at Cambridge North for an 11:00 start. There is a car park at the station as well as train and bus links.

The walk starts by following the Chisholm trail, branching to follow Cherry Hinton Brook through Cambridge's green spaces. We then diverge to skirt the airport, where there is the opportunity to boggle at the new housing estate springing up nearby. The last leg follows the route of the former Mildenhall railway line, bringing us out at Ditton Meadow where we retrace our steps to the station. There is the option of drinks at the Green Dragon after the walk, where we will also be holding our AGM.

Toilets at Cambridge North are behind the ticket barriers. However, we do pass the large Sainsbury's on the route. We can also make a diversion via the Newmarket Road Park & Ride if anyone is desperate.

Please remember to bring a packed lunch and something to drink as I don't want to spend too long waiting outside Sainsbury's.
