We will walk to the site where the solar farm is to be located near Heathy Spot and then probably return on the cycle path. It is perfect day for a walk with a sunny and gentle breeze weather forecast.

The pic taken on the walk last week is of Abdi on the river path near ASDA. Of the five of us who set out only Huw and Steve completed the walk. The plan attached is for the solar farm as mentioned.
