Day 10 part 2

I'm writing this on my dad's phone as our tablet is flat. Not a bad day at all exempt for the tracks at the start and end. QWe left the camp at 8:30 and went along a road and soon we were on it. It seemed fine at first just a bit of a grass track a car fairly regularly went through. Naturally our lucky got worse and we were walking through stinging nettles, we made it to a bridge and crossed over the river we had been walking by. We had been stung lots of times.

We soon were on road and went through Wicken Fen which is a parent internationally famous but dad says that about a lot of things. Our first stop was New Market (internationally famous) for horse racing. We had second breakfast and went to the horse racing museum which was really good ad there was a horse simulator and an 80 year old man called Alfie Westwood who was really fun and talkative who was the person who let us on the horse simulator. Alfie had won a few races as a Jokey when he was younger.

Next stop was at Anglesea Abbey a National Trust place given to them in 1966. It wasn't actually an abbey but it was a massive place with a water nill in the grounds which were big as well. We had lunch there and cycled on to Saffron Walden 20 miles away.

Half way after about 9 miles we found our second track. It was all grassy again but luckily it was all short and there were no stingers. The actual track though was really thin only about 2 inches wide the kind that make you think you'll fall over or slip and this went on for about five miles. It was bumpy and a bit up and downy horrible. Finally we got out and soon arrived at Little Walden which we cycled straight through and got to Saffron Walden. Mum found a Hotel and tommorow is the last day yay!πŸ˜„ although we have had one day extra than we were supposed to😠 oh well only 40 miles tommorow.πŸ™Œ and apparently we will be meeting some other ccyclists to go back with us half way. So bye.
