Charity walk for Olivia

Val will be walking for Olivia, starting at Braziers Garage car park, along to Stretham Bridge and then to New Inn, down to Frogs Hole and past Rye Farm back to the car park.

She will identify the birds and we can sponsor her per species (she hopes to see about 40).

Let’s see how much we can raise.
