  1. For a few days, I have been losing plenty of time playing with the
    Wikipedia (shhh, don't tell that to anybody, but it can be still more
    addictive than Usenet).

    I have now stumbled on this page :

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pappoos_1

    beginning with "Pappoos 1 is a walking trail that links North East
    London to Cambridge and The Wash" then describing the course of this
    "Pappoos 1" (a detailed description from London to Cambridge, then the
    Fen Rivers Way).

    I strongly suspect this page to be a hoax or at best a mistake ; it
    could be only a misspelling of the name of the path (no such Pappoos as
    a path on Google), but what would be the correct spelling ?

    Looking for advice among specialists...

    The page may be either BUT the Way exists. I live not to many miles distant
    from part. I links to other ways including the Nene Way. Excellent walking
    in that area.

    I don't know about the orgnisation whick claims to have produced a guide but
    will try to find more....

    For certain 'yellowbellies' I do live in fenlands and AM therefore a
    flatlander!. And proud of it. (since 1066 and all that)

    Thanks but do you mean the "Fen Rivers Way" or "Pappoos 1"? For the Fen
    Way, that makes no doubt of course, there are many manifestations of
    this name on the internet. I was specifically writing about the name
    "Pappoos 1" and about the section I of this path as described on the
    wikipedia page (I requote the URL for easy access :
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pappoos_1 ), that is a trail between London
    and Cambridge.

    Surely purely descriptive name.
    The route is so flat it is suitable for papooses

    Doesn't sound very English, does it. Hmmm.
