Newmarket (North East, East) and ExningTwo further trips to Newmarket on 6th and 15th February completed firstly the industrial and residential areas of Studlands Park and the area east of Exning Road over to the river valley carrying NCN51, and then the village of Exning. Not only were the existing roads there woefully incomplete, but what was there was significantly wrong as well: wrong names and deviant tracks. Corrected now.
Secondly, completed the rather more sparse area of east and north east Newmarket: the large number of stables and studs mean that residential development is not very dense along Ely Road (A142) and Bury Road (the old A11 road). Moving round to the south-east, however, density increased again on the rising ground behind the town.
Battery on my Nokia N8109 ran out on both trips after 4 hours 10 minutes. Biked home after the first session via NCN51 all the way - it's a long way round and I got back exhausted. Second trip I did bus both ways, and the timing was perfect. However it does leave an area called Crockfords Park south of the railway and the old town south of the High Street still outstanding. One more trip will probably complete the town.
