PRACTICAL OBSERVATIONS
Few practical suggestions are needed by the motorist in East Anglia--a district not presenting many difficulties. Those which are deemed necessary are here prefixed to the whole body of the text.
ABBREVIATIONS
R. signifies that there is a garage capable of doing moderate repairs.
R. A. signifies that the facilities for repair are abundant.
P. signifies that petrol can be purchased, but it has not been considered needful to state this where the existence of a garage renders a supply of petrol certain.
CAMBRIDGE, NEWMARKET, BURY, AND IPSWICH
ROADS Cambridge to Newmarket, mostly flat--not good. Newmarket to Bury St. Edmunds, fair. Bury St. Edmunds to Ipswich, poor and very sinuous.
HILLS A sharp rise to Newmarket. Some small ups and downs between Newmarket and Bury St. Edmunds. Some small ups and downs between Ipswich and Stowmarket.
DISTANCES Cambridge to Newmarket , 13-1/4. Newmarket to Bury St. Edmunds , 14. Bury St. Edmunds vi? Stowmarket , to Ipswich , 25-1/2.

NORWICH TO LONDON BY ROMAN ROAD
ROADS The surface is reasonably good, and the milestones are legible so long as the road is in Norfolk. On entering Suffolk the milestones are often found illegible, and the surface of the road becomes noticeably worse. The main road from Colchester to London, vi? the East End of London, is of fairly good quality, but traffic is very troublesome during the later part.
HILLS Between Norwich and Ipswich are no hills of at all a serious character on this route, except when surface is very soft. At Stratford St. Mary, on crossing the river towards Colchester, is a fairly stiff ascent, and the Colchester vicinity is hilly, but not difficult for cars of moderate power.
DISTANCES Norwich to London , 114-3/4. Norwich to Long Stratton, 10-1/4. Long Stratton to Scole, 9-1/4. Scole to Thornton Parva, 4-3/4. Thornton Parva to Thwaite, 2-3/4. Thwaite to Claydon, 11-3/4.

THROUGH THE HEART OF EAST ANGLIA
ROADS Main roads throughout. Good in surface, for the most part very straight and free from cross-roads, so that high speeds may be enjoyed with safety.
HILLS None worthy of mention.
DISTANCES Royston to Newmarket , 24. Newmarket to Thetford , 20-1/4. Thetford to Attleborough , 14. Attleborough to Wymondham , 6. Wymondham to Norwich , 9.

ROADS Vile, with crumbling surface of gravel, in Epping Forest. Good from Chelmsford to Felixstowe. Fair from Felixstowe to Saxmundham. Farm tracks were tried beyond Saxmundham. They were found soft, rough, but not injurious to tires.
HILLS Worthy of respect in Epping Forest, owing to bad surface, round Colchester, on leaving Ipswich, and on leaving Dunwich.
DISTANCES AND SPECIAL DIRECTIONS. Oxford Circus to Epping, 22?7. Proceed vi? Regent Street, Langham Place, Portland Place, Park Crescent, to Euston Road; turn to the right and go straight on past King's Cross Station; turn to left into York Road, which follow to tramway lines in Camden Road; here turn to the right and follow tramway lines across Holloway Road into Seven Sisters Road; continue to follow tramway lines to "Manor House," and there, taking the right-hand fork of tram lines, go on to red brick structure in the centre of the road. Here incline to the left and follow tram lines through Tottenham High Road to Edmonton , and go straight on to Ponder's End.

Beyond the crossing the road passes through fields, but two gates less than 3/4 of a mile apart must be watched for. Go straight on to Chingford . Look out for Loughton and Epping sign-post, which points to Whitehall Lane, and at the end of Whitehall Lane , turn to the left and proceed to Buckhurst Hill. Then bear to the right at the next fork, where sign-post directs to Loughton , and Epping.
Felixstowe to Woodbridge , 10. Woodbridge to Saxmundham , 12-3/4. Saxmundham to Dunwich, 13-1/2. Dunwich to Felixstowe, 31.
