Tuesday 21st October 2008 was our first full day in the cottage we'd hired for a few days. We made sandwiches and walked out, turning right up the hill. In a matter of moments we were passing the "J and I" school and into open countryside. The skies were dramatic, but the rain, when it came, lasted no more than a minute at a time.
Our route took us round Digley Reservoir and through Holmbridge. Towards the end of what should have been a nine mile walk we came across footpath diversion signs: our way across the Ramsden Reservoir dam had been closed for reconstruction of the reservoir.
There was no option but a one-and-a-half mile detour over Yateholme Reservoir dam further up the valley. Hmmm. The view of the drained reservoir was fascinating, though.
We were looking forward to a pub meal at the Fleece, and (this time) we weren't disappointed.
