Moonwalk training - St Neots to Biggleswade




Our longest walk to date, 14.2 miles from home to Biggleswade! Two stops on the train, or hours of walking. It started by walking through the not so picturesque bit of St Neots, past the industrial bit, then onto the fields. It's so dry, the ground was cracked and that means I want to take lots and lots of photo's of the ground! The only people we saw on the walk was two golfers when we crossed Abbotsley golf course, listening out for people saying 'fore'. We walked through a rape seed field across the tractor imprint. This is when I discovered that I dislike mud, but I really dislike mud that is crinkly. On we went, first to Sandy where we relived a bit of last weeks walk, including going through the lamb field again. Unfortunately, one lamb was separated from it's mother, so the mother then decided to follow us in close proximity.

A short stop over at a coffee shop in Sandy (I hope we can do that on the Moonwalk). We even picked up some hen and duck eggs by a farm on the side of the road. Then into Biggleswade after 14.2 miles. That was enough, so we took the 6 minute train home to St Neots, packed with commuters.
