Grantchester (10/28/2022)

One of the walks recommended to us was in Grantchester and through Grantchester Meadows. Since biking is kinder to Bob’s hip than a longer walk, we decided to bike to the nearby community and then swing back to Waitrose, a larger grocery, to check that out as well.

It is a quick bike ride to Grantchester, about 15 minutes taking the more scenic route. I had run through a bit of the community, but since I run in the dark, I really hadn’t seen much. We biked through Grantchester Meadows and then by some pubs and churches as well. On the way back, we brought the Guided Busway trail.

The only negative of the little excursion was Bob forgot the bike lock keys, so we took turns shopping while the other stayed with the bikes. Below, are pics from the outing.

The path was paved.
