Flatlander 2 Dec 12:25pm, 2 Dec 2023 2,995 posts	0 Flatlander It is perhaps just as well the the event hasn't been arranged for today. It has been -1C in Cambridge all morning with frost and quite a mist, both of which would fairly understandably have deterred some people attending, especially if they had to travel long distances to get here in possibly worse conditions. Plus, the track was closed on Thursday evening due to ice, and I can't see that it would have been much better this morning.
Ness 2 Dec 12:33pm, 2 Dec 2023 36,644 posts	0 Ness Perhaps just as well. I've just had a safety recall for the car. Won't be driving far until its booked in and the repair has been done.

Got something to say?

Okay, here it is. Again. And again. And yet again. And once more. And this time with feeling. And this time in the summer which probably means it's going to piss it down. And now again at Christmas. And this time not even in East Anglia, really (which is probably just as well). And back in Cambridge with bells on. And this time it's a bit Disnae. Yet again, eighth time for luck. Like Tokyo 2020, Jingle Mile 2020 has been postponed to 2021 but we can't afford a rebrand. Instead there is a Virtual Jingle Mile. Make up your own swears. And back for a Not The Jingle Mile 2020 In 2021 thanks to Hells Bells. The Jingle Mile 2020 is happening in 2022, thanks to the magic of television. (It's not the magic of television.)

For anyone who is coming by train, there is now a bus service U from the railway station to Robinson College, Grange Road, which leaves a half mile walk along Adams Road to the Wilberforce Road University Track.

You could also walk from the station. It's a couple of miles. Head out of the station and onto Station Road, right onto Hills Road then follow that all the way into the city centre to Petty Cury. Turn left there and go down onto the Market Square. Cross the square diagonally then bear down the side of Great St Mary's. Turn right at the end then immediately left down Senate House Passage. Follow Trinity Lane round to the right and then left onto Garrett Hostel Lane. Over the bridge then straight on over Queens Road and up Burrell's Walk. Bear right at the end and up onto Adams Road. The track is at the end of Adams Road.

Swimmers and paratroopers, you're on your own. Weirdos.
