Walk around Ogston Reservoir

Well it was just drizzling with rain this morning, just enough to get you damp but we thought we would risk it, so we left Geoff's about 07:00 and decided to go to Ogston Reservoir. Its just a short journey and we were first in the car park. With the grey skies and damp conditions the light was abysmal so unfortunately the photos are not of the best quality, most of them being taken on my pocket camera. This camera is great in nice sunny conditions but a bit "noisy" in dull weather.
While we were booting up Ike told us a story, he bought a new pair of boots about 3 months ago and he got a spare pair of laces with them, well he lost the laces some time ago and guess what he's just found them tucked up in the toe of one of his boots!!!
Well there's not much to say about this walk just that in good weather we will be back it was just around 5 miles and we passed through some great scenery.


5 mile walk around Ogston Res starting from the West Bank car park.

A good 5 mile walk in the rain and in the words of Arne "I'll be back" in better weather of course.
See you next week.
