That's not a hill.....
The move to the 'flatlands' draws closer, just waiting for final solicitory bits, hopefully exchange of contracts won't be too long and we can get moving date. Well I guess the village (all going well) is on hill, it's a heady 10m above sea level, and I guess the road to the nearest town of St. Ives does go over what passes for a mountain around there as it goes over the 30 metre contour. But FGS the road our current house is on rises about 20 metres in maybe 300 metres or so. I think this is going to take bit of readjustment....... -- Chris French, Leeds |

I'll drop around with a welcome cake next time I'm visiting the folks! If my Windows system hadn't committed suicide I'd break out MemoryMap and track it down from the description, although that does sound like pretty much everywhere in Cambs. Jon |

Maybe I can stop by when I ride to Cambridge and back in July or perhaps we'll see you at Mildenhall !!! Hope the move is trouble free. |
