Another C2C idea?

[dimrub]

I had this strange idea as I was watching a video of Hank (James Lowsley Williams) of GCN fame talking about his recently inherited manor:

Surely, if he wants to bring it into the 21st century, and given his background, he should try and lure in various cycling enthusiasts? Then I looked it up and found out it's near Bristol. Then an idea started to form. I've recently done C2C (of sorts) in Wales and a proper C2C in Scotland. I lack only England for a full house of C2Cs. Bristol to Ipswich, by way of Cavenage (the aforementioned manor), Oxford, Milton Keynes, Cambridge, how bad/good can it be? I have no idea - but it seems to be doable along NCN - 41, 45, 48, 57, 51.

51 was interrupted by HS2 works but maybe that is out of the way now.

You could head up NCN11 after Cambridge because "the Severn to the Wash" makes more sense than to some random point on the east coast.

Beautiful! And then Ely comes into play, and it's a lovely place, we went narrowboating there last year. It should have been a popular route, I'm surprised it isn't.

Another, more Midlands, way to do Severn to Wash would be 41, 45, 41, 52, 63, 1. Hillier in the middle.
