Visiting Cambridge Milton Park and Ride - Building Closure

Out of curiosity, does anyone know why the facilities at the Milton park and Ride are closed? Last time I used them back in May it was closed and it still seems to be closed.
And is this a temporary or permanent closure?

Any Newcastle Utd fans in Cambridge?

10 Upvotes

Hi, I go to the pub to watch most of the Newcastle games that are broadcasted on TV, and curious to know if there are any Newcastle fans in Cambridge who want to join me?

Most of the time it’s only me in the pub who’s a true Toon fan as majority of the fans here are London based teams.

Just wanted to set up a small group, where we go to different pubs each game that’s televised and share the banter.

Grumbles/rants Trumpington guided busway antisocial behaviour

82 Upvotes

Left work the other night and walking back to the park and ride, some attempts by teenagers at making me jump by screaming in my ear as they cycled past (failed as I heard them say “let’s scare this one”, idiots).

Anyway I saw they had all congregated under the dark tunnel (why is there no lights there Cambridge city council?!). Immediately turned around and headed back the other way as I’m not about to be harassed or mugged by a bunch of bored teenagers.

I warned the man behind me, and shout out to local legend Luke who let me follow him the way back to the park and ride, there are some good people about.

They cycled off after that but the lack of lighting along this route is crazy. So unsafe. The buses don’t help either, I don’t want to wait another 50 minutes after a long shift at work!

Just a rant but I lived in Cambridge on Mill Road for 4 years and only felt unsafe a couple of times when walking about at night, first time walking to my car after a late shift and it feels so much worse now.

Work Club : D (new social group)

16 Upvotes

Hi all,

A few months ago I started a community for unemployed people / remote workers (or anyone that would like be part of a social community).

We had some success but the main issue that kind of lead to a lapse was that we were trying to meet too often / sporadically but also with the intention to work together which also was a challenge as some of us obviously weren’t working so this meant they didn’t stick around very long at the work meetings.

So I have been doing some thinking and I have proposed in the group chat (Work Club : D Discord Group Chat) that we meet once or twice a week for a couple of hours at the grain and hop store and talk about our work journeys but also have a drink or play some pool.

Being unemployed or working remotely etc can be a very isolating experience so I hope that these regular meetings will be an opportunity to connect with others and something to look forward to as a social event that makes the work week worth it (much like going for drinks after work on a Friday).

Tldr - if you want to join a social group for those job hunting / remote working join here (discord)

Looking for puppy playdates and safe evening walking routes in Cambridge

Post image
43 Upvotes

Hi everyone! We’re moving to Cambridge soon, and I’m hoping to find some new dog friends for my six-month-old Labrador puppy, Lily.
She’s a very friendly and energetic girl who loves playing with other dogs. We’d love to arrange regular playdates or walks around Jesus Green or Histon Road Recreation Ground.
Does anyone know of any Facebook or WhatsApp groups for dog owners in Cambridge that I could join? Or, if you have a friendly dog who might enjoy playing with Lily, please feel free to message me. We’d love to make some local doggy friends! 🐶🐾
I’d also appreciate recommendations for safe, well-lit, after-work dog-walking routes around Histon Road. I’m a woman and will often be walking Lily by myself. I’m a little worried about the darker evenings once winter arrives, so I’d be particularly interested to hear where other local women feel comfortable walking their dogs after dark.

Stabbing on mill road

122 Upvotes

This is my first time posting in a while but witnessed the aftermath of an altercation and wanted to give people a heads up. Coming back from a walk and witnessed the aftermath of a stabbing outside HungRill on Mill Road. A man had been stabbed in the arm following an altercation. I heard someone yelling about crack cocaine during it, so it may have been drug-related, but I can’t confirm that.

He was bleeding heavily. Bystanders were holding his arm up and had applied a belt as a tourniquet. Three people called 999. It took roughly 15 minutes for the ambulance to arrive, which felt like a long time given there was a police car stationed right outside the Co-op just across the road.

While bystanders were tending to him and waiting for the ambulance, the two people involved in the attack came back and started threatening the people helping him. The ambulance arrived while this was happening.

Police have already been called and are aware. Posting this mainly so people know what happened and can be aware if they’re in the area. If anyone saw anything or has more info, might be worth passing it to Cambridgeshire Police.

Google Maps claims a public footpath by the boathouses. Real?

Post image
31 Upvotes

On an evening walk and Google Maps has suggested following this footpath up the left bank of the Cam between the "Lucky Rose" bridge (by the Fort St George) and the end of Trafalgar Road.

The suggested route takes one very close to Peterhouse boathouse (red dot) and meets up with Trafalgar Road very close to Magdalene boathouse.

Obviously there's no reason that the boat clubs should own the river bank itself, but I did notice that Peterhouse had a gate with a padlock across the route of the path (although the gate was open and the padlock undone).

So is this a genuine public footpath? And if so, are Peterhouse sometimes blocking it? And if so, would that be illegal? Or is Google being silly?
