		<title>March March March! - Saturday 17th March 7.45am</title>
		<link>http://www.cusu.cam.ac.uk/events/2826/march-march-march/</link>
		<description><![CDATA[The March March March (http://www.marchmarchmarch.org.uk/) is a mammoth walk across the Fens between the town of March and Cambridge, all completed within a single day (in March). Once again, this year we hope to join up with the original inventors of this epic expedition for a truly unforgettable experience! This year we plan to following a longer route via the bird‐watching hub of Welney, which provides a unique opportunity to fully experience the vast open grandeur of the Fens, the dead‐straight Old Bedford River and the floodwaters of the Ouse Washes Nature Reserve, as well as the chance to challenge yourself with a walk of epic proportions! We plan to stop for at least one pub meal in Welney (lunch) or Earith (dinner) but please be sure to bring some food and a drink yourself as well. For those preferring a slightly shorter ramble, there will be options to return to Cambridge from Welney (12 miles), Mepal (21 miles) and Rampton (34 miles).<br /><br />Meet: 07:45 at the train station for the 08:00 train to March <br /><br />Return: Hopefully(!) arriving back in Cambridge not too long after midnight <br /><br />Cost: £10.20 for the train, or £6.75 with a railcard [Single to March], unless you think you might want to leave the walk partway through in which case you should get a Return to March (£11.60, or £7.65 with a railcard). If you plan to do the whole walk and can book your ticket in advance you can get an Advance Single to Peterborough (which is valid via March) for £6.50, or £4.30 with a railcard.]]></description>
