Google Maps Route.

Setting off at 8am

Stopping for a cuppa in Holbeach would you believe it Sam had a puncture at Frampton big thorn on the road so unlucky. It took 10 min to put a spare inner tube in and we was back on the road.

Due to the COVID pandemic all the hedges are over grown and some of the signs are missing and are very difficult to find I hope Sustrans rangers can get out and sort them out.

Over grown Hedges dangerous even for vehicles.

Signs can’t be seen and often leads to confusion as to which way to go.

Onwards to our campsite for the night.

Virginia Lake caravan park is right in NCN Route 1 so plan your overnight there.
