Olympic Torch Relay - St Ives

Sunday was Day 51 of the Olympic Torch Relay.  From a starting point in Cambridge, the relay passed through St Ives, Huntingdon, Bedford and Stevenage, before finishing in Luton.   Looking at the possible options, I decided Cambridge was too early a start and Bedford would be too busy.  There is never a good reason to suffer the Huntingdon ring road.  So St Ives it was! The weather on Sunday was typical of this summer.  Rain.  Lots of rain.  Despite this, a large crowd turned out to see the runner pass.  Hawkers, selling flags and other assorted Olympic themed tat, did good business (as did Greggs) and a man on unicycled kept us entertained until the convoy arrived.
