Sunday 25th April – “Drive It Day” Road Run:
As part of the National “Drive It Day” we are visiting Anglesey Abbey and Lode Mill – our local National Trust property – and with the current weather conditions the spring flowers should still be well in bloom. Meet at Robert & Fenella’s house in Cottenham at 10.30am, departure at 11am for a run through the lanes to the Abbey. Those of you who want a shorter drive can meet us there from 12 noon onwards. Bring a picnic or have lunch in the restaurant.
