This walk is just bursting with variety and interest points which are well worth the muddy section on Broomhead Moor.

Back Tor looking out towards Ladybower is a worthy target in itself but we then move onto Strines Reservoir and Dale Dyke Reservoir historic location of the UK's worst dam accident when amazingly 240 people died and 600 homes were destroyed. Unbelievable.

We finish by enjoying the woods around the Agden Reservoir before making our way back to the start.

Please take LOTS of pictures and upload them to this Meetup page so everyone can see how much fun you had.

Dogs are welcome as long as not constantly barking and jumping up. Owners must keep dogs under control at all times and place on a lead when near farm animals or signs tell us to do so.

Bring snacks, fluids and a lunch packup. Waterproofs would be a good idea too.

Lift sharing is strongly encouraged, just leave a message below if offering or asking for a lift.

If layby full when you arrive lookout for Gordon who will direct you to other suitable spots!

Please plenty of time for parking and kitting up just in case and share transport if you can.

We do not wait for latecomers!
