Day 9: Ely to Downham Market
The Pilgrims last visited Ely in 1977! Today we take the opportunity to visit Ely Cathedral for prayers; we need to be prompt departing from Mass and also in leaving the Cathedral as there is a scheduled service at 10.30 to which we are not staying. There is an 8.00 am Anglican Eucharist for those wishing to partake or spend more time in this splendid Fen-Land cathedral. Today is another long day's walk by the River Great Ouse. Our lunch stop is early, and afternoon long. Although flat all the way, it is a footpath walk along the Fen Rivers Way until Ten Mile Bank, where the going gets easier along a minor road: The Ouse Valley Way. Keep a good pace; time has been allowed mid-afternoon at Brandon Creek for refreshments. The walk is quite open with litte cover and views of the vast fens.
