Started systematic work on Huntingdon yesterday. Huntingdon is a market town of about 20,000 people so it will take four or five trips to complete. As everywhere there is lots of new housing development on the margins, so it's possibly more than that now, and there are the neighbouring villages of Godmanchester and Brampton that would make sense to do as I go (Brampton looks superficially as if it might be complete, but even reaching the Huntingdon edge of it I can now see that it isn't).

This first session covered Hinchingbrooke (that part of the town west of the A14 trunk road with lots of public building - police HQ, fire HQ, hospital, forensic lab; and a huge country park with a decent enough cafe which I arrived at at just the right time for lunch) and Stukeley Meadows (a boring housing estate in the north west sector of the town which pretentiously names most of its culs-de-sac after lakes in the Lake District). It must be terrible living in either of these bits because they are boxed in by two of the busiest roads in East Anglia, and I was conscious of loud traffic noise all the time. That and the East Coast Main Line railway bisecting it with 225km/h trains every ten minutes.

By the way I hope you get better soon Matthew. I say this because the key bit that was already done was Hinchingbrooke Hospital and the roads leading to it!
