Below are a few photos taken on a ride today (on the Raleigh Superbe) over to
Fulbourn Fen, along Hindloders path, on to the
Roman Road and then on to the
Wandlbury Rings. I've also posted a short film of the Roman Road I took during a brief stop to drink a flask of tea. "Hindloders" is, apparently, an ancient name derived from two Old English words, "hiwan" or "hine" which mean "community", and "loddere" which means "beggar". According to "
A Walking Guide to the Fulbourn Area" (which I recommend and which you can buy from the
CPPF office at Wandlebury ) the path "is a site where gypsies and travellers gathered for centuries,perhaps for events such as
Stourbridge Fair held at Barnwell on the banks of the River Cam every summer from 1211)."
The photos were taken with my iPad mini using the
Hipstamatic app with the "C-Type plate" film and the "Americana" lens.
