In spite of extreme temperatures, the recent Fish’n’Chip run to Hunstanton was a highly successful outing and leader Keith Tremeer has since received requests for the route. Many thanks therefore to Keith for sharing the 136-mile journey from Tesco Milton to Huntingdon, stopping for supper on the sea front in Hunstanton.
