Very low water made some access difficult when here in late September.
Nice reservoir, but parking is somewhat non-existent and the directions around are hard to find. We ended up trying to find our our path until we found the actual path. However some nice views around. In some parts the winds can get extremely high, but certainly a fresh walk!
Lovely place to stop and take in the view have a brew and maybe un unspecified chocolate snack bar with 4 fingers. Take in the clear air and while away a bit of time just watching the world go by.
New management are making a big difference to this fishery. Great day out.
Such a peaceful place, so quiet, all you can hear is the wildlife
