apparently the section between Haddenham and Earith is closed although will check on Friday if it's passable by bike, alternatives will be advertised on the day either the A142 (with cycle path) via Sutton or via Cottenham for even more (mis)guided busway

Thanks; if it's anything other than a passable properly surfaced section for bikes I will re-route. Got some local advice who says the best alternative is via Cottenham and Rampton from where there is a tarmac bridleway onto the busway.

It was passable by bike and indeed I met a group of Easter Arrow riders coming the other way.
According to my mapping that bridleway from Rampton is 800m. Suppose it depends how bad the stones on it is.
from the description it looks like it may be possible to divert via Aldreth but that's longer than via Rampton

Looking at the map to follow these discussions, I've suddenly been reminded of the event that used to go out to Chatteris, and back via Somersham - Earith - Willingham - Over - Swavesey. Not been that way for a bit, I think.
was that Tomsk's Flitchbikes?
My plan is to go through Cottenham straight down to the bus way.
For those of use who enjoy a bit of off road is Aldreth to Willingham a reasonable alternative. Th off road section is marked as a Byeway at both ends?
