Well...

LOTS of Museums
Kings College Chapel (where the Xmas carols are broadcast worldwide)

What sort of thigs are you interested in?






1. The point of a journey is not to arrive.
2. Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.

"Punt"
but mind the bridge that curves in to the river.
I was gently pushed in to the river by it.
A slow motion nowhere to go moment

If you have an interest in aircraft then Duxford is a must.

Cambridge is a nice city to visit - but full of tourists at the moment. Loads of colleges, but some/many are charging to go in (e.g. Kings). Fitzwilliam museum is top-class if you like that sort of thing. The city centre is much the same as any other, perhaps a bit more decorative.

As Paul says, Duxford is a must if you like aircraft. Not too far out of Cambridge.

One thing - forget trying to take a car into the city - it's a nightmare. The park-and-rides are first-rate, frequent and reasonably cheap.

That explains the weather!
As already suggested the Fitzwilliam is worth a vist, I've lived in /around Cambridge for nearly 60 years and only went for the first time a year or so ago and found it very interesting. Duxford (Imperial war museum is worth a look . Punting is good IF the weather is kind but watch out for the punt touts who can be a bit aggressive . Best bet is to hire one yourself and have a go . As for local meets , I have tried in the past to organise one but don't tend to get a lot of interest apart from Paul (907) and Geoff (wilkingj) . Let us know when you are in Cambridge and we can perhaps organise something . Mel

The SG7s monthly meeting is on this Sunday (2nd Aug) from 11.30 til 2pm at the George IV Baldock (about 25 miles from Cambridge)

Also you should visit the A507 from Baldock to Buntingford
