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!

Today’s ramble with the Cambridge Rambling Club A team started further afield 🙂
The start was at Audley End, Vera led 13 of us, at a cracking pace, across the rolling Essex countryside to The Langleys were we stopped for our sandwiches outside the The Bull. Tea was taken alongside the stream in the very pretty village of Arkesdon.
The countryside was still very wintry & bleak looking with only an occasional burst of snowdrops to brighten the day a little.

We did just over 16miles in 5hr 11min of moving time with 1hr 35min of stops. Surprisingly for us flat landers we did 0ver 1900ft of ascent!

A Happy New Year to all my readers 🙂 Good to see that you are a person of excellent taste and recognise a real quality blog!
After spending the first 12 hours of the new year in bed with Sally we decided a walk was in order. Neither of us could face the annual new year swim in the river.
So we decided to walk the opposite way and go to Baits Bite Lock via Chesterton and then return via Fen Ditton.
Here is the route with photographs. The GPS is a bit wonky in places, as I kept it in my pocket so reception was poor under the willow trees 🙁

In the process of trying to tidy up the GPS traces I stumbled across TrailRunner which looks quite interesting and may replace the rather expensive Ascent package that I currently use. Here is a screenshot of it with today’s walk:-
Another bit of software than Euan suggested was Trails for the iPhone, it certainly pulled in my Everytrail walks pretty neatly 🙂
Today’s 13.3mile walk was with the Southern Norfolk walkers group. The 61st event led by Paul! Twenty of us joined him on this event. The weather stayed dry but overcast.

To import the trail I tried using the Ascent software as suggested by Euan, However, I can’t get it to display the imported trail in Everytrail – The folks at Everytrail are working on it – maybe 🙂 Todays pictures are all taken with the iPhone as the Olympus’s rechargeable batteries have gone all dodgy on me. NB: Chris from Everytrail reports the bug has been squashed so it should work now 🙂
Ascent does produce activity charts like this though:-
