So it was, we found ourselves in Cambridge. While Sarah was on the course I planned to cycle to Ely Cathedral. We were staying at Cambridge Orchard Park Travelodge. However, after Sarah had left for her course, my day quickly went downhill. The extension for my GoPro camera. More worrying, I couldn’t…
