Overview

We will set off over the 2 dams to the far side of the reservoir. Then along the path below Sheeps Tor to the far end of the reservoir. After a break for a drink there is a short climb up to the leat before returning gently downhill to the view point above the car park.

If there has been rain in the days before the walk expect mud, but as it will be mid June there should be lots of wild flowers, butterflies and dragon flies.

Please let the leader know if you plan to attend by SMS to 07579790872.
