Introduction
A climb to the highest point in Cambridgeshire at Great Chishill. A S/SW wind and the downhill helped us home. We went up Coploe Hill and then across to Elmdon in Essex which did not have a village sign. A short run to Chrishall in Essex which did have a sign the 100th - we had sandwiches there. Along the ridge and up to Great Chishill for number 101. Downhill with the wind behind us on the journey home. Heydon did not have a village sign. We continued down to Newton where the Queens Head was open for a couple of pints of Adnams Ghostship and the village sign is still just a post.
