Reservoir Round

Date of Walk : Monday 7th May

Distance : 11.2 miles

Route : Blackstone Edge Reservoir - Light Hazzles Reservoir - Warland Reservoir - Gaddings Dam - White Holme Reservoir - Blackstone Edge Reservoir

This was another road test for my new boots but I set off with the intention of doing about 7-8 miles. You know what it's like when you think just a bit further and pop along the next ridge and so on. Sadly I paid for it later as I had a few blisters but it won't stop me getting out this weekend, although the weather might.

The start of the walk with Hollingworth Lake visible in the distance.

These Boots Are Made For Walking

Date of Walk : Sunday 29th April

Distance : 6.2 miles

Route : Shaw - Crompton Moor - Ogden - Shaw



This walk was nothing special and it was a spur of the moment walk at about 4.30 on a Sunday afternoon. I had some new boots so wanted a reasonable walk but not too far as new boots can cause problems so I wanted a ramble of about a couple of hours to test them out.

Looking back into Shaw (my home) on the way up Crompton Moor.
