A very lonely location out on the Cambridgeshire fens visited as part of a circular walk taking in Angle Bridge.

All intact. Lots of wildfowl in flooded drain. Whole area flooded from north to south drain - panorama looked more like a lake.

Walked from small car park at the end of Eldernell Lane along the flood bank. Great little walk spotted a Cattle Egret, 2 Short Eared Owls and a large number of Whopper Swans.

Drove up the farm track, passed the tractor hire building and parked beside other fishermen/birdwatchers. A 1km walk along the levee to the trig. A fisherman decided to have a rest against the trig just as we were arriving!! (He did kindly move out the way for our photos)

Followed the road up past the agricultural machinery place to parking close to the bridge. Spotted a birdwatcher spotting birds. Walked along the top of the bank which was a pretty flat walk of around 1km. A nice pleasant walk only to find a polish fisherman having his lunch at the trig. We asked him to move his net and rod off the trig so we could get a photo and then chatted to him about the fishing around here. A lovely afternoon walk to blow away the cobwebs from the car incident in the morning. Cheers

I did the hard part and walked the 1.5 miles along the dyke braving one herd of bullocks. I then was beaten back by a second herd of larger animals that even started to walk towards me. Seems a little unfair to have so many large animals on a public track. Since I had done the hard part I reckon a moral visit.

I left the car in the carpark at Eldernell bridge and walked the mile and three quarters along the top of the dyke to the T/P. This pillar is in as good a condition as any I’ve so far logged. All the metalwork is in place, including the centre plug, which is of the deeply engraved variety. The views are just what you’d expect, being in the middle of the Fens. You can see for miles all round.
