  1. The move to the 'flatlands' draws closer, just waiting for final
    solicitory bits, hopefully exchange of contracts won't be too long and
    we can get moving date.

    Well I guess the village (all going well) is on hill, it's a heady 10m
    above sea level, and I guess the road to the nearest town of St. Ives
    does go over what passes for a mountain around there as it goes over the
    30 metre contour. But FGS the road our current house is on rises about
    20 metres in maybe 300 metres or so.

    I think this is going to take bit of readjustment.......

    Where and when? (By private mail if preferred). I'll drop around with a
    welcome cake next time I'm visiting the folks!

    If my Windows system hadn't committed suicide I'd break out MemoryMap
    and track it down from the description, although that does sound like
    pretty much everywhere in Cambs.

    One of the boys in the lab has just bought memory map. I've planned this
    weeks mini tour on it (write up later..) and looked at the route profile.

    We never did have a W Yorks urc meet up. Maybe I can stop by when I
    ride to Cambridge and back in July or perhaps we'll see you at
    Mildenhall !!!

    Hope the move is trouble free.

    I've been known to cycle to the Dyke's End pub, and often walk along the
    Devil's Dyke, but don't know of any cycling routes that are made not-flat
    by it.

    Never seen any, though there was a burnt out small motorbike at one time
    near the disused railway. Some of it was covered in scrubby bushes, but
    they are cutting a lot of that back. Even the grassy slopes are fairly
    rough though.

    I think you are thinking of the broads, not the dykes.
