Opportunity to get up close and personal with the reservoir as it is very shallow at the moment due to maintenance works on the dam. We start with a walk along one side of the reservoir with elevenses by the bothy and time for a paddle should you so wish (also a piddle if you need one in the en-suite section of the bothy). We then gradually go up the other side of the reservoir along the first part of the scenic Monk's Trod before veering off over open ground back to the cars. The views in the afternoon are stunning in good weather, fingers crossed then!Parking in the lay by at the start point which is just a little bit north of the dam. We should all be able to fit in but if not, there is space to park nearer the dam.

Start Point:SN 91145 63993
What 3 words:surnames.behalf.refrained
Conditions:7 miles with 1200 feet of ascent. The first and last stretches of the walk are on the cycle path and the bit in the middle mainly on established paths. There are a few less defined, muddy paths but nothing to write home about. The first part of the walk depends on whether a currently closed section of path is open again but there is a suitable alternative if not. In any event the main steep bit is early on.
