Scammonden Water

Yesterday, I discovered another new walk around yet another reservoir not too far from me. (12 miles). Scammonden Water is another of our freshwater drinking reservoirs in West Yorkshire. Quite a treat in this cold but almost clear break in the weather for us. A good path makes this an easy four mile walk. It is hard to believe that one of Britain’s busiest motorways (the M62) flies just past the end of the water near the tower. See PiP. The reservoir is 252m above sea level and holds 7.8 billion litres of water.

See full screen.

Enjoy the day.

Herb Riddle replied to Keith Burton:

A rear rarity seeing the sun and blue skies for us up in the grim north my friend. A great two hours of a walk with the prospect of extending it and so we certainly will revisit it. Glad you liked the other view from up near the carpark too.

Cheers. Herb
