The December walk was an 8 mile circular hike which started by the River Trent at Fiskerton.
The route took us to Farndon before looping around the big complex that is Staythorpe Power Station. The power station is fuelled by natural gas (methane) and the site once housed 2 coal fired plants.
The area is a focus for pylons which transmit the power across the county and beyond.
We took a coffee break near these ‘iron giants’ by the river at Staythorpe
The route continued to Averham and onto Rolleston for a late lunch stop behind the village hall.
Following lunch we completed the last section via the impressive water powered Mill at Fiskerton to the car park.
The next walk is on Tuesday 7th January
