Woolsthorpe Wharf, Grantham Canal and Muston, 12th February 2024

Starting at Woolsthorpe Wharf,  Dave took eighteen members on a 4½ mile  walk along the Grantham Canal as far as Muston Bridge before taking Woolsthorpe Lane and Church Lane to Muston Cross for coffee.  After crossing the Devon to reach the church, the walk returned to the start along the Sustrans cycle track for the VBR Spring Lunch at The Duck.

Thanks Steve and John for the photos and Elaine for organising the lunch.

An example of agrivoltaics, these huge, dual-axis solar tracking panels can be seen from the path near Muston.  They track the movement of the sun in the sky giving 40% more power.  These have been elevated to allow for co-cropping below - sheep in this case
