March Haigh Reservoir - dry!

On the road to Scommonden Water, and not very far away, we passed a viewpoint down to this empty reservoir in an area known as Nont Sarahs. Apparently it has been drained whilst a valve is being repaired. To my left is a rock escarpment where hang-gliders take off to enjoy the tumbling valley below. See PiP

Enjoy the day.

Herb Riddle replied to David G Johnson:

Almost your region too Dave as it is near Huddersfield. Yes it is time to get the old hang glider out of the shed.

Herb Riddle replied to Roger (Grisly):

Hi Roger. I think it has been having trouble for a year or so. Sometime ago, helicopters where helping out here carrying supplies. I don't hold much hope here for a speedy solution.

Cheers. Herb

Thanks Joe. It might have been better from a hang glider view but I have never tried it.

A cracking view Herb, even without the water! I was about to ask what was going on, when I re-read your narrative and realised it has been drained!

A cracking image in the PiP too.
