Parked in entrance to reservoir and walked south along road to point marked as hp on hillbagging just outside 'Hill Top' gate and drive. 
Turned north through unfenced wood to reach SE corner of reservoir compound and very little fencing, so walked all round reservoir as looks like it may be higher ground inside compound. 
Returned same way, first checking if can get through hedge from compound direct to road. 
Possible I guess, but less hassle to walk short distance through wood to gate then back to van. | mntainman | 16/03/2024 |
Pulled in at reservoir entrance. The car park at Broad Downs a mile to the west is the place to go if you want views. | Mark Jackson | 07/01/2023 |
