Wednesday 11th Augut - Three Reservoirs

A longer drive today to the other side of the moor for a walk around the three reservoirs. A dull day at first but very humid.

This is Trenchford reservoir.

Around and down to Kennick reservoir where the water level is well down.

The track which goes  divides the reservoir into two.

Up and around through the woods for a while.

Looking back across Kennick reservoir with Hay Tor in the distance.

Kennick reservoir is usually full and I assume this is for the benefit of the anglers.

On through the woods past this ancient Quaker burial ground. After all this time there is no longer any evidence of the burials.

















Back down to the dam looking down Kennick reservoir.



Reflections and a lone angler.






















Through the woods again and around Trenchford reservoir.
 
Lunch was at The Cleave in Lustleigh. Often difficult to park but we were lucky today.

We decided to sit outside. The cat which was friendly  at first came back into the garden with a mouse. It was a lucky day for the mouse as Brenda rescued it before letting it loose again.

Travelling back over the moor near Postbridge we spotted a man putting his recycling out wearing absolutely nothing other than his wellies! Not a pretty sight!

With Terry, Jon, Brenda, Tom and Linda.
