Halstead

A drive from Alconbury, Tue, 12 May 2026 by David Howard

There was a series of roads from the A1 at Alconbury to Oakham I hadn't covered, so worked my way through them and as usual went back another way to cover more. It was a nice bright day so a pleasure to travel through the countryside.

Click the blue circles to see a photograph taken from that spot and read further information about the location. The blue lines indicate the direction of view. There is also a slideshow of this trip. ( Auto-sync scrolling and map dragging )
