Ashwell and Benington - CTC Ride

Nice day again, more cloudy but manageable wind.

Decided not to go to Hauxton since I'd just be coming back the same way, and happened to intercept the group on the way to Bassingbourn.  Big group out today, about 16. On to Day's at Ashwell for a cuppa and slab of carrot cake, yum, eaten on the green down the lane from the shop.


Continued on through quiet country lanes to Benington where we were able to sit outside for lunch. Mike CC upset with the stroppy lady in the kitchen, vowing we shouldn't come here again.  Even so, nice salmon baguette even it did take some time to arrive.

Came back along more quiet lanes, stopping at the church in Anstey because someone had been told about the special stained glass window dedicated to the wartime air force people flying out of nearby air strips.


Just beginning to rain a bit on leaving so a fairly quick ride back via Barley and Fowlmere.
