Reservoir Dog (A very short walk)

For once when I had some free time the weather was dry, sky very overcast and grey though, so I decided to go to Fewston Reservoir. With it been the tail end of holidays and a Saturday the car park near Bubberhouses church was full so went up to Thrushcross instead the car par there had a fair few cars there but plenty of space.  

We walked from the car par across the dam to the other side. A long drop over the side with no water. The wall top was covered with moss as well as a strange bit of graffiti which said something like. “flying man misery destroys” this appeared to be here a good while as moss was growing over it. Didn’t photograph it as it give me the creeps all I could think of was some poor soul who may have destroyed his misery there.

         The drop from Dam.

A  few from far end of the dam.

Went back to Fewston then but had problems getting out a new car park attendant a cockerel was strutting round and coming right over to my side and not moving away as I tried to reverse he was following me closely much to the amusement of people around. I said he must be the car park attendant as I hadn’t paid. 

Went then to the car park between Fewston and Swinsty Reservoirs. Walked acoss the dam there which is as large and impressive as the other but some how friendlier feel to it. Saw a big Bird on a buoy or something don’t really know what it was perhaps a Cormorant?

    A bit far away and a heavy crop too.

A few pics from there.

Thats the first blog of the year and I’m going to try and blog a bit more often this year.
