Chapter V Norwich to Ely and Cambridge
Roads Fair at outset. Worse on approaching Ely.
Hills None of any moment, but no monotony of level until reaching Fordham.
Distances Norwich to Watton (P.), 8. Watton to Brandon, 13. [N.B.—This is a by-way to find which turn sharply to left on reaching the Lynn and Thetford road. The distance is approximate.] Brandon to Mildenhall (P.), 9-1/4. Mildenhall to Fordham, 6-1/4. Fordham to Soham (R.), 3-1/4. Soham to Ely (R.), 5-1/4. Ely to Cambridge (R. A.), 16. Cambridge to Royston (R.), 13-1/2.
Caution.—Great care should be taken to ascertain the right exit from Norwich.
Note.—This is not a full day’s drive, and in fact left me 70 miles to travel, but it is a convenient exit from East Anglia westwards. From Royston to London is 42-1/4.
