Church spires are the only thing that punctuate the skyline but it is nice to wheel away with minimum effort for a change.
There are plenty of small lanes to avoid the likes of the A17 but Sustrans have done a particularly good job at curving around the Wash on the NCN 1. Occasional glances at the map on my bar bag are all that is needed and the only reason to stop is to regain the circulation in the extremities.
Holbech has the fantastic Caffe Aurora which served amazing coffee and the lime on the cake was more a delicious deluge than a drizzle.
We arrived in Wisbech just in time to visit Peckover Garden but too late to get into the house. This Georgian building was home to a Quaker family for over 150 years, perhaps this has had an effect on the town as it was almost impossible to find a beer after our visit!
Wisbech marks our brief excursion through Cambridgeshire before Norfolk, it seems remarkable that we were in Edinburgh a fortnight ago.
