Overview

We will walk over the 2 dams and along the east side of Burrator reservoir before pausing at Norsworthy bridge. Return is by the leat and along the dismantled railway line. There should be lovely views over the reservoir if the weather is fine.

The route will be rocky in places with mud and puddles inevitable. Please come prepared.

Please let the leader know if you wish to join the walk by SMS or whatsapp to 07579790872.

This is the replacement of my walk of 18 February that was cancelled due to bad weather.
