There is extra parking at Cambridge Rugby Club, | :01:14. | :01:19. | |
but if you want to try Saffron Walden, there is Park and Rhde | :01:20. | :01:21. | |
There will be a giant screen on Saffron Walden common | :01:22. | :01:27. | |

The position that most people seem to want to go to is to go to is | :01:32. | :01:35. | |
the bottom of the High Street, which is where the route turns | :01:36. | :01:37. | |
That's a very sharp left`hand turn, so we are all quite interested | :01:38. | :01:41. | |
to see how the cyclists are going to negotiate that. | :01:42. | :01:44. | |
The bells at many churches along the route will toll to welcome the Tour. | :01:45. | :01:48. | |
Among them, the Church of the Holy Cross at Felsted. | :01:49. | :01:50. | |

Neither can customers at thd Waitrose supermarket in Cambridge. | :02:18. | :02:21. | |
It put up a sign pointing out that a "local sporting event" max disrupt | :02:22. | :02:25. | |
A case, perhaps, of the Tour de France being, | :02:26. | :02:30. | |

Philip Wayre at the Earsham Otter Trust, | :03:05. | :03:11. | |
which became the test`bed for an international wildlife experiment. | :03:12. | :03:14. | |
Pesticide pollution had all but wiped out lowland otters by the 70s. | :03:15. | :03:16. | |
so the trust bred them in captivity. | :03:17. | :03:18. | |
In 1983, it began releasing them agahn. | :03:19. | :03:20. | |
People said, if in ten years time, if you've made no further | :03:21. | :03:27. | |
reintroductions on these rivers and the otters are still thdre | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
and still breeding, OK, we will believe it works. | :03:31. | :03:33. | |

He was a fantastic man and he set the agenda | :03:45. | :03:52. | |
Philip Wayre had already established the Norfolk wildlife park bdfore | :03:53. | :03:58. | |
founding the Otter Trust with Jean Franklin, whom he later married | :03:59. | :04:00. | |
His family are now organising a celebration of his life, | :04:01. | :04:06. | |
Well,it could well turn out to be a decent day first thing | :04:07. | :04:23. | |
First of all, we have a much more comfortable night to come. | :04:24. | :04:27. | |
Fresher, under largely clear skies, just one or two isolated showers. | :04:28. | :04:30. | |
Dry for many and feeling a little cooler, with temperatures | :04:31. | :04:31. | |

By the afternoon, we are re`ching temperatures in the low 20s. | :04:38. | :04:40. | |
But a few sharp showers around, and they're not going to be ide`l for | :04:41. | :04:43. | |
showers, perhaps the odd rumble of thunder. But sunny spells in | :04:44. | :04:50. | |

cloud will start to develop as temperatures rise and we can see | :05:40. | :05:43. | |
some showers breaking up. Pretty hit and miss, you are more likely to | :05:44. | :05:49. | |
stay dry than to catch more than the odd shower through the day. Pretty | :05:50. | :05:57. | |
