Anyone ill or under self-isolation naturally please stay home.
Avon Trail wishes everyone to stay healthy through this pandemic crisis. The trail is not closed however we must use common sense in keeping with social distancing. There are ways to go for walks without crowd interaction.
I wish to thank all the members for your understanding and continued support during this stressful time.
Warm Regards,
