Yes
Fancy a day out somewhere reasonably local to St Ives, Cambs, bit of a stroll, somewhere to get lunch or eat a packed one and chance to take some interesting pictures (obviously)

Can't be too much walking because my missus has a bad back, she is the driver in our house and like her to enjoy the day out too

Went to the Shuttleworth Collection near Biggleswade a couple of weeks back and that was very good

Not Cambridge, work there and was thinking of something a bit further afield anyway

Any ideas please?

Cheers
Rich
 
Come and help me decorate my Grandsons bedroom free lunch and drinks whenever you want them.
Have a great day if you find any better options

hi rich, have you been to the rspb centre in sandy, beds. its just off the a1 not to far away, you can walk around the woodlands long or short your choice. lovely place and i,m sure its got a cafe.:thumbs:
 
Thanks for that Mike, that's an excellent idea, saw it on the map when I looked up directions to get to the Shuttleworth collection and wondered what it was like

Sounds good and reckon that will be my destination, which day do you think would be less busy, I would reckon Saturday for that sort of place

Think I might pass on the kind decorating offer thanks Dave, one of the reasons i'm gong out is to avoid the dreaded DIY
 
Had a look on the web and it looks very pleasant, will nip up Waitrose first thing and get a few bits for a spot of lunch
Thanks for the suggestion Mike , sure we will have a nice day and might well have some pics by the end of the weekend

Thanks for that suggestion David, afraid its not much use though as I don't drink. One of the worse things for Cluster Headache which I suffer with on a far too regular basis
How about you have a pint or two for me though
 
I'm going on a fungi hunt tomorrow but I guess devon is a bit far !!

Little bit further than I had in mind Andrew, but sure you will enjoy it. Do get down to Devon every couple of years when we rent a cottage near Wembury Bay, lovely part of the country
 
Maybe too much walking, but Knapwell wood is lovely. Small village near Cambourne, park by the church, and its a lovely walk through the woods.
 
Postponed until Sunday now, missus back not that great and looks a nicer day weather wise too

Thanks for the Knapwell Woods idea Simon, never even heard of it before and will have a look, think you may have guessed i'm not a local

Cheers
Rich
 
I realise that it's a bit close to Cambridge, but given that you enjoyed The Shuttleworth Collection, did you know that the Battle of Britain Exhibition is on at Duxford this weekend?
 
Thanks Mark, I did read about the Duxford thing this week

Too many crowds for me i'm afraid and no doubt a bit pricy just for a little trip out, went to the Duxford museum a while back and that too was very enjoyable

Would like to get out to more places, but gets a bit expensive at 40-50 quid a time for two people which seems to be the average sort of cost
Think these places would do better if they charged less, might not get any extra in admission fees, but much more from their retail outlets like cafes and gift shops
 
Popped out to Sandy this morning and it is indeed very pleasant, no silly prices either, just the car parking fee of 4 quid
Nice little shop and place to get a cuppa along with loads of benches to sit at to eat

Didn't get to see much because the missus back played up badly and we left, but will definitely be back there again when she has recovered a bit more
Another good thing is that it actually takes after the name of the place, consequently should drain well for a nice stroll in the winter months

Thanks for the suggestion and despite it only being a brief visit one for the future

Glad we didn't do the Duxford thing, apparently there were hour long queues on the M11 and people turned away, one to book in advance I presume

Cheers
Rich
