Altis, I decided to have a wander round Dovestones reservoir this afternoon. It is amazing how easy it is to take for granted such breathtaking scenery when it is on your own doorstep. I took these pics at 12 50PM . The main road and the access road to the car park are clear, however if you look at the picture of the car park you may be able to see that some of it is fenced off. In fact less than a third of the normal space is available due to refurbishment taking place. There is another less well known carpark (free) a short distance up the main road at Binn Green which is shown on the A to Z. Speaking to one of the hardy souls I met today, he said that Sunday was always much busier than Saturday. There is a small carpark at the Clarence Hotel which is a 20 to 30 minute walk from the reservoir. At the moment the temp is just above freezing, with sleet in the air. I should think that there will still be enough white stuff up there to make it interesting unless we have a dramatic change in the weather.
