Our route was to take across the dam but due to construction work this was closed.
There is however a path that goes down below the dam and around the water works which brought us out...
...at the southern most point on Tottiford Reservoir...
...we followed this for a short distance...
...before turning right into the woods where there is a bridge which splits Tottiford Reservoir in half.
Specimens of fungus.
Then into an area of very tall Larch trees which according to a notice are awaiting felling due to disease.
On to a large clearing...
...followed by another tunnel of trees.
Our planned route was 'over there' through Laployd Plantation but the signs said we couldn't go because of clearing work.
So on to an unapproved route through more mature woods...
After a while we came out at Kennick Reservoir - this is the largest of the three and this one always seems to be full.
Across the dam to follow the path around the top part of Tottiford Reservoir - no water in this bit...
...well not much!
At the bridge dividing the reservoir we turned right and back across to Trenchford Reservoir...
...around the top of this and...
...back to the start - looking down Trenchford Reservoir.
Lunch was at The Cleeve in Lustleigh where we were joined by Roger and Chris - who had got up too late to join us on the walk! With Terry and Rosemary.
Then back home where there had been showers and no sunshine!
Fabulous tree photography Mr Leek.
