Planetary Trail: special UnstFest guided walk 

A group of intrepid space travellers joined us in high winds on 26th July to walk across our Solar System ‘faster than the speed of light’. They visited all the planets with Wild Skies Shetland Trustee and astronomy expert Fabien Kuntz leading the way.

Due to circumstances beyond our control, the road up to the Planetary Trail has been closed because of works by the MOD for much of this season so far. They kindly agreed to open it up for one day only during UnstFest. Unfortunately we don’t know how long the road will be closed but once the work is completed we will let our followers know as soon as possible that normal access is resumed.

In the meantime thanks to everyone who came along for this special walk on such a wild and blustery day!
