24.75 miles. Deeping St James - Northborough - Glinton - Peakirk - Newborough - Crowland - Deeping St James. Sunny, 17c. Two vintage 1947 pensioners. Taking in sections of NCN21, NCN12, parts of Peterborough Green Wheel. 


We meet a really elderly gentleman (looked much older than us,85-90 was our guess) just outside of Peakirk, still peddling his Specialised Hybrid. He advised us against taking the section of NCN12 to Crowland. I should have listened. Kathleen refused to. continue it was so wet and rough, taking us on. a much longer route via B1443, and then, even more of a diversion to avoid the very busy A16.
