Field Walking (22 April 2011 - 25 April 2011)
ND 32169 71295 – ND 39862 72769 A walkover survey was carried out 22–25 April 2011 of the proposed route of the new overhead electricity power line running from Upper Gills (ND 32169 71295) to Duncansby Head (ND 39862 72769). The survey identified an old quarry, a small area of rig, significant areas of peat banks, and field boundaries lying adjacent to the northerly section of the route at Duncansby. It has been recommended that pole positions should be positioned to avoid the ditch and bank field boundary by at least 5m.
