Inveterate dabbler in business, travel, gadgets & life
Today’s Cambridge Rambling Clubs “A” team walk should have been led by Larry unfortunately he was indisposed so Jill took over at the last minute, hence the couple of blips on the GPS trail!
Here is the walk and trail with (even though I say so myself) a fine shot of Ickworth Hall!

Les Gets is having plenty of snow this year :-).
Here is a snapshot of the webcam in the centre of the village, looks like they have set up a snowboard park in the village square with some guy just getting air on his board!
You can see my apartment on the webcam as well, good to see that the runs into the village still have full coverage

A post for posterity, in case I loose the instruction manual for my Ryobi IR Thermometer Model SW-638E, a Christmas present from Sally.
It can measure temperatures of -20 to +315 degrees Celsius However, for the lower temperatures it can take 10-15minutes to adjust. For best accuracy the objects have to be under 2 feet away.

Today’s Cambridge Rambling Clubs ‘A’ team walk was led by Rita. Nine of us set off from Waterbeach village green heading for Anglesey abbey via Lode. At last its warming up and the ground is drying out with a few buds beginning to form on the hedgerows.
Vast hordes of people had descended on Anglesey Abbey ostensibly to visit the snowdrops but seemingly to gorge themselves in the vast canteen whose smells reminded me of school lunches and form queues at the toilets. Its truly amazing how the National Trust has turned itself into a mini shopping mall, easy to imagine a Tesco Express arriving on the site sometime soon. Apparently in 2008 it had 191,549 visitors!
Here’s todays walk, flat as a pancake but a good day out.
