Moonwalk training: 17.1 Miles from Huntingdon to St Neots

Today was a tale of two halves. A morning walk around Buckden and Offord Cluny. The walk started in Buckden, passing a field with a sign that dogs will be shot if worrying the sheep! Slightly extreme me thinks. We were joined by a dog that kept bringing me a stick, I should have realised after the first throw that it wouldn't leave me alone. Today was a day of Environment Agency signs, over sluices, locks, weirs... We also had to cross the East Coast mainline! Home for lunch.

After lunch and letting the doggies out, we took the train to Huntingdon and walked home, passing the Environment Agency Central Office where we had to have an obligatory photo. We were following the Ouse Valley Way so we followed the river for most of the journey, broken up at one point by a stubborn swan that was blocking our path and hissing at us.

We passed countless kissing gates, then walked through Paxton Pits which seemed to go on forever. This is where Ali hit the wall and needed a sugar hit. Through Little Paxton and then home sweet home. 17.1 miles...done.
