June 13, 2024,Juni Tour #12 King's Lynn to Ely

The stage towards London had a strong wind from the front, a feeling of NL but only because of the canal that the Dutch had built. The roads and paths were not of NL standard 🤣. Ely with the huge cathedral was a surprise and then we took the train to London for a relaxed ride 😀

Headwind, headwind and more headwind in the Dutch countryside, but no rain.

Today we went from Kings Lynn to Ely... along the Great Ouse for a long time, luckily not on the dyke, otherwise it would have been even windier.
