Do we have the revised route out yet? And if so could I please have a copy.

Right i think Ive found the lane. If you find the ph at Henham where we are having lunch. It is the 1st lane we do after that. It follows the river cam/granta for a short distance on a steep gradient. It is here that the edge is giving way and a shear drop to the water awaits. This is easily bypassed without major changes to the overlay. I've got my tech working now too. Just downloaded viewranger and it works a treat

Thought the meeting time was before 8-45 so that group 1 could leave for 8-45 and group 2 would follow at 9-00

I would say 95% is north of the A120 . We will have to assess the fords on the river Rib as we get to them.

Ian are you bringing them tyres with you?
My 2.8 shorty - now sold, and comments hereMy old dti - now sold "Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "WOW --- What a Ride!"
