A 'rape and pillage' mission in dreek and darkness on journey home. Felt it praobably deserved better. Great to find a reservoir with a sensible fence. | RichardM | 18/01/2017 |
A dull walk from near the school- bagging is probably enough. I wouldn't try and plan a longer route using the path. There are better walks to do in the Cotswolds! 3rd of 3 Hu today. | pwheeler | 22/09/2016 |

A quick trip to the covered reservoir from the B4070. | JohnStoneham | 15/07/2012 |
Warm sunny day; short walk from the Birdlip view point/car park just off the A417(T). Summit spot height is on a Wessex Water reservoir, requires a short trespass off the public RoW. | jonglew | 25/06/2012 |
Trig quickly bagged then over damaged wooden fence to walk on grass roof of covered reservoir with no problem. | Dugswell2 | 05/03/2012 |
