Cambridge - Wimpole Hall - Cambridge

30 km full of sun
We went there down an A road, not very fun but quite straight (former Roman road). Laurence had a mudguard problem, solved with wire. We were there in no time.

Huuuuge beech
Pseudo-gothic tower, Sanderson Miller
And we saw trees! Yews (everywhere), beeches, many species of walnut, sequoias, (baby) spindles, planes... and apple-trees...

Had lunch in the sun, then headed home (wind back!)
