Jim's Coastal Path Walk around UK - Day 446
The stroll from Dersingham to Kings Lynn to me past Sandringham House, Royal Residency of the Queen, and a walk through the estate on route. It was glorious weather. Unfortunately my car keys had fallen out of my pocket as I was given a lift to the starting point by Pete and Jenny my hosts from the previous evening. Amazingly I bumped into them whilst walking along a town centre street in Kings Lynn and got my keys back. I then drove to Downham Market to stay for a couple of days with Shan and Norbert. What a wonderful place and atmosphere to rest up and get my head back together.
super awesome fireworks in Kings Lynn, Norfolk, epic show!!!
After being at Hunstanton beach filming my blog, i headed home, but suddenly my intuition guided me to west lynn, on the west side of the river Ouse opposite Kings Lynn, down streets i never knew existed before.
After turning down a few inconspicuous looking streets i turned into a grassy carpark to be greeted by a spectacular fireworks display =)
Heritage Open Day 2011
Heritage Open Days was established in 1994 as a national initiative to celebrate England's architecture and culture by allowing visitors free access to interesting properties that are either not usually open, or would normally charge an entrance fee. Organised by volunteers for local people, HOD is England's biggest and most popular voluntary cultural event, attracting around 1 million visitors. English Heritage gives central co-ordination and a national voice to the event. In this spirit, St Edmund's Church put on a History Fair and Fun Day. It was the only one in West Norfolk outside King's Lynn. Our aim was, first, for it to be a fun day to open up our heritage and things of local interest to the public; and, secondly, to fund raise for St Edmund's £1million Appeal. It also turned out to be a wonderful team building occasion and great fun for those putting it on, (and we raised £1,000 too!)

UK Cities. Ely? Armagh? St Asaph? - 12 Days Of The Spriggan Gamer #12
So this is the 5th January, aka Epiphany when the wise men visited Baby Jesus, officially the end of christmas, when all the Christmas decorations have to be taken down - which also means it's the end of the series. It's been difficult making 1 video per day for this last period but it's really been worth it - I feel like I've become a more confident person and I feel justified I've been able to share what I'm interested in ie geography and geoguessr with you. If that's not what you watch or like to watch on youtube that's 100% ok, you don't have to watch my videos if you don't think they will interest you. It's also fully improved by love of geoguessr, before I played it, but I found it hard to play without commentating on it and I found myself commentating to myself a lot :) and if I got an insaneeeee score I was annoyed and disappointing no one got to see it, so all those games and scores which went unnoticed don't really matter a whole lot because I've managed to show you some gameplay. I know my channel isn't good quality or contains good commentary but I hope you understand and enjoy the videos for what they are. I've tried to make it as good as possible but without all the expensive kit, it's hard to gain top quality videos. I've enjoyed recording and editing these, even though it's took up virtually all of my free time - and if you've liked them that's all that matters.
So I hope you enjoy this last video.... one of my weaker performances but in a topic I'm not so good on, but it was still fun to do and hopefully good to watch.
It's all not over just yet though... like I commented on I'm hoping to make a highlights video in a couple of weeks so stay tuned for that :)
Sorry if you've commented suggestions on these videos.... as you should be aware of is that they are all pre recorded so I couldn't take one of your suggestions to use in this series. BUT, I do read all the comments and if your suggestion is good and feesable then I can do it as a later video, even though it's not included in this series, so don't feel that if I've not done it I've not seen it
Do you think you know more cities than me? If so follow this link to jetpunk and see if you can beat my score

A bus trip into Cambridge City (Again) | 17/04/18
Taking another trip into Cambridge via the bus during the evening rush hour of Tuesday 17th April 2018 unfortunately we had a single decker bus towards the city, but as usual we got a double decker to Babraham Road. The traffic wasn't as busy as it was last time but for some reason the video seems to be longer. NOTE: I did cut out any heavy bits of traffic since it would be boring.
Cambridge info:
Cambridge (/ˈkeɪmbrɪdʒ/ KAYM-brij) is a university city and the county town of Cambridgeshire, England, on the River Cam approximately 50 miles (80 km) north of London. At the United Kingdom Census 2011, its population was 123,867 including 24,506 students. Cambridge became an important trading centre during the Roman and Viking ages, and there is archaeological evidence of settlement in the area as early as the Bronze Age. The first town charters were granted in the 12th century, although modern city status was not officially conferred until 1951.
Cambridge is home to the world-renowned University of Cambridge, which was founded in 1209. The university includes King's College Chapel, Cavendish Laboratory, and the Cambridge University Library, one of the largest legal deposit libraries in the world. The city's skyline is dominated by several college buildings, along with the spire of the Our Lady and the English Martyrs Church, the chimney of Addenbrooke's Hospital and St John's College Chapel tower. Anglia Ruskin University, evolved from the Cambridge School of Art and the Cambridgeshire College of Arts and Technology, also has its main campus in the city.
Cambridge is at the heart of the high-technology Silicon Fen with industries such as software and bioscience and many start-up companies born out of the university. More than 40% of the workforce has a higher education qualification, more than twice the national average. The Cambridge Biomedical Campus, one of the largest biomedical research clusters in the world, is soon to be home to AstraZeneca, a hotel and the relocated Papworth Hospital.
Parker's Piece hosted the first ever game of Association football. The Strawberry Fair music and arts festival and Midsummer Fairs are held on Midsummer Common, and the annual Cambridge Beer Festival takes place on Jesus Green. The city is adjacent to the M11 and A14 roads, and Cambridge station is less than an hour from London King's Cross railway station.
Transport:
Because of its rapid growth in the 20th century, Cambridge has a congested road network. The M11 motorway from east London terminates to the north-west of the city where it joins the A14, a major freight route which connects the port of Felixstowe on the east coast with the Midlands. The A428 connects the city with Bedford and St Neots, and the A10 connects the city to King's Lynn to the north via Ely, and to central London to the south.
As a university town lying on fairly flat ground and with traffic congestion, Cambridge has the highest level of cycle use in the UK. According to the 2001 census, 25% of residents travelled to work by bicycle. Furthermore, a survey in 2013 found that 47% of residents travel by bike at least once a week. In recognition of this, the 3rd stage of the 2014 Tour de France started in the city, adjacent to Parker's Piece.
Cambridge has several bus services including routes linking five Park and Ride sites all of which operate seven days a week and are aimed at encouraging motorists to park near the city's edge. Since 2011, the Cambridgeshire Guided Busway has carried bus services into the centre of Cambridge from St Ives, Huntingdon, Peterborough and other towns and villages along the routes, operated by Stagecoach and Go Whippet. The route A service continues on to the railway station and Addenbrookes, before terminating at Park and Ride in Trumpington.
Cambridge also has its own airport; Cambridge Airport was used mainly by charter and training flights as well as to fly in aircraft for maintenance. Regular flights to Jersey and European destinations such as Gothenburg operated until the end of January 2016 when all scheduled and charter traffic from the airport was halted.
Rail:
Cambridge railway station was opened in 1845, initially linking to Bishopsgate station in London, via Bishops Stortford. Further lines opened throughout the 19th century, including the Cambridge and St Ives branch line, the Stour Valley Railway, the Cambridge to Mildenhall railway, and the Varsity Line. Another station was opened in Cherry Hinton though.
Today, Cambridge station has direct rail links to London with London King's Cross (via the Cambridge Line and the East Coast Main Line) and Liverpool Street (on the West Anglia Main Line). Commuter trains to King's Cross run every half hour during peak hours, with a journey time of 53 minutes. Trains also run to King's Lynn and Ely (via the Fen Line), Norwich (via the Breckland Line), Leicester, Birmingham, Peterborough, Stevenage, Ipswich and London Stansted Airport.

This is a FULL-ISH route visual of the route 3 from Cambridge to Fisbon Road. This is a FULL-ISH visual because the route 3 normally starts from Cherry Hinton but the shift I was on started at Cambridge Station and I mean just terminated there being being sent out of it's garage. Unfortunately, this is my final Cambridge bus visual but I hope you enjoyed them and I may be doing some buses in Bristol so stay tuned for that.

Kate Middleton and Queen Elizabeth Share Blanket in Backseat of Their Cozy Ride from Joint Outing
Kate Middleton and Queen Elizabeth know exactly how to relax after an outing — with a comfy blanket! The two royals were photographed leaving their first-ever joint engagement at the Strand campus of King’s College in London sitting side-by-side in the backseat of a car. Despite the moderate 55-degree weather, they sweetly shared a blue blanket to cover their laps as they departed, smiling and waving to eager fans hopeful to catch a glimpse of the duo. Get push notifications with news, features and more. Follow Following You'll get the latest updates on this topic in your browser notifications. The 92-year-old monarch is often seen with a similar blue cover to stay warm during her car rides, including earlier this year when she was pictured with the blanket as she left a church service in King’s Lynn. Kate, 37, and the Queen each received a bouquet of flowers as they departed. As seen in a video shared by royals reporter Victoria Murphy, the monarch gets into their waiting car first but takes the seat closest to the door. Kate follows her inside, ducking to take a step and settle into the farther seat. The scene is reminiscent of the 2001 movie The Princess Diaries, when Mia (Anne Hathaway) asks her grandmother Queen Clarisse (Julie Andrews) if she’d like to “slide in first” as they get into the backseat of a car. The fictional royal replies, “I never slide.” During Meghan Markle‘s first solo outing with the Queen back in June 2018, there was a moment of confusion as Meghan appeared unsure who should get into their waiting Bentley first. Fortunately, the monarch smoothly guided her through. “What is your preference?” the Duchess of Sussex asked. “You go first,” the Queen replied.
Cambridge
The city of Cambridge is a university town and the administrative centre of the county of Cambridgeshire, England. It lies in East Anglia, on the River Cam, about 50 miles (80 km) north of London. According to the United Kingdom Census 2011, its population was 123,867 (including 24,488 students). This makes Cambridge the second largest city in Cambridgeshire after Peterborough, and the 54th largest in the United Kingdom. There is archaeological evidence of settlement in the area during the Bronze Age and Roman times; under Viking rule Cambridge became an important trading centre. The first town charters were granted in the 12th century, although city status was not conferred until 1951.
Cambridge is most widely known as the home of the University of Cambridge, founded in 1209 and consistently ranked one of the top five universities in the world. The university includes the renowned Cavendish Laboratory, King's College Chapel, and the Cambridge University Library. The Cambridge skyline is dominated by the last two buildings, along with the spire of the Catholic Church (Our Lady and English Martyrs) at Hills Road, the chimney of Addenbrooke's Hospital in the far south of the city and St John's College Chapel tower.

UK: Two Class 47 diesel locos depart Rugby for Euston on the return of the The Palatine Railtour
UK: Two Class 47 diesel locos depart from Rugby on the return leg of The Palatine Railtour operated by UK Railtours. The locos are operating in top and tail formation with 47614 leading and D1944 on the rear.
The train had earlier run from London Euston to Crewe with the same class 47s where they were removed and steam loco 70000 'Britannia' hauled the train on a circular route around the North West and back to Crewe. The class 47s were attached to the train again at Crewe for the return leg to London Euston.

A railtour is a special train which is run in order to allow people to experience rail travel which is not available using timetabled passenger services. The 'unusual' aspect may be the route of the train, the destination, specific sections of railway track (for example, freight-only lines), the locomotive hauling the train, the rolling stock (passenger carriages), or any combination of these. Organisers may own or hire locomotives or rolling stock, or tours may be organised by railway management or other bodies outside the railway fraternity.

The British Rail Class 47 is a class of British railway diesel-electric locomotive that was developed in the 1960s by Brush Traction. A total of 512 Class 47s were built between 1962 and 1968, which made them the most numerous class of British mainline diesel locomotive.
They were fitted with the Sulzer 12LDA28C twin-bank twelve-cylinder unit producing 2,750 bhp (2,050 kW) this was later derated to 2,580 bhp (1,920 kW) and have been used on both passenger and freight trains on Britain's railways for over 50 years.

Britannia was built at Crewe, completed on 2 January 1951. She was the first British Railways standard locomotive to be built and the first of 55 locomotives of the Britannia class. The locomotive was named at a ceremony at Marylebone Station by the then Minister for Transport Alfred Barnes on 30 January 1951.
The BR Locomotive Naming Committee were determined not to use names already in use on other locomotives. They tried to observe this by not selecting the name Britannia for use on 70000 because it was already in use on one of the ex-LMS Jubilee Class locomotives, but Robert Riddles overruled them and the Jubilee had to be renamed.
Britannia was initially based at Stratford (30A) in order to work East Anglian expresses to Norwich and Great Yarmouth, but was also particularly associated with the Hook Continental boat train to Harwich. Subsequently, the loco was based at Norwich Thorpe (w/e 31 January 1959) and March (June 1961) before spending the remainder of her career on the London Midland Region: Willesden (1A) (w/e 30 March 1963), Crewe North (5A) (w/e 25 May 1963), Crewe South (5B) (w/e 19 May 1965) and finally Newton Heath (9D) (w/e 5 March 1966) from where she was withdrawn w/e 28 May 1966.
The locomotive pulled the funeral train of King George VI from King's Lynn, Norfolk to London following his death in February 1952 at Sandringham House, Norfolk. For this task, Britannia had her cab roof painted white, as was the custom with royal locomotives (B2 61617 Ford Castle, which pulled the train from Wolferton Station to King's Lynn, was similarly liveried). Britannia has also worn the white roof in preservation.
Britannia was withdrawn in May 1966, after 15 years of service.
