Entwistle and Wayoh reservoirs, more photos.

By the time we'd arrived at the parking area, the earlier showers we had on the way were all but forgotten....... But not quite. We still considered it prudent to don our waterproof pants

The weather continued to improve as we set off on our walk

The very impressive railway viaduct crossing Wayoh reservoir

Brew time.

Long shadows were being cast by the winter sun.

Refreshed, and warmed, by Martin's ever welcome firewater, we continue on our way.

The overflow from Wayoh reservoir.

Striding out with a purpose.



Lunch break, on the other side of the water.


It wasn't long before we had the company of some hungry ducks, that were willing to help us to eat our lunch.

Lunch over, we set off again. The way ahead was looking rather damp.

By the time we'd reached the above hostelry, the weather had taken a turn for the worse.

On reaching the Entwistle reservoir, the rain was getting heavier.
A decision had to be made. Do we take a shortcut back to the cars? Or do we continue with our walk?------ Hesitation.--------- No one was willing to be labeled a wimp, and so we pulled up our huds and set off once more.

The rain didn't last long, and coming across a picknick site we decided to finish off our flasks, before the final trudge back to the cars.
