Walk Description:

Solar Eclipse Walk at Knapp Hill with Sally & Bev

This is a special walk to take in the solar eclipse where we should be able to see around 90% coverage as the sun is setting in the west. 

We will walk around 3.5 miles around the hills above Alton Barnes as the sun goes down. Then bring a picnic and something to sit on as we climb Knapp Hill to watch the solar eclipse.
