Overview

Starting from Cambridge Station forecourt at 10.00am we will make our way through  residential streets and a retail park before reaching Coldham's Common and onwards through more of Cambridge's green spaces to Fen Ditton church. From there we will head back towards the city along the bank of the River Cam to Magdalene Bridge, and then weave our way past colleges and through water meadows back to the station. 

En route we will be finding out what Mr Dobbler did and looking for the chapel that isn't there.

The route is mainly on city pavements and good footpaths, but be prepared for some muddy sections too.
