- Huh? If I lived in Chesterton (and I nearly did, till someone out bid me) I'd
- walk or cycle everywhere. The walk is OK, only one horribly large roundabout
- to negotiate, and you can avoid that. Why get the bus, unless you're old,
- unfit or unwell, or carrying a lot of stuff? You should be most of the way into
- Cambridge in ten minutes (waiting for the bus) from Chesterton.
