This is a nice and easy five miles walk that takes in country lanes with lovely old houses, and woodland trails with detours that you can explore if you have the time. We start at the head of the reservoir (grid ref: SD619 155) and keep it in sight for much of the walk, and although the weather didn’t look too promising I’m glad to say the rain held off until I was back home.

I don’t know about you but with all this snow on the ground I can’t seem to walk fast enough to keep my feet warm. I’m so busy carefully watching where I put my feet to try and prevent ending up on my backside on the icy ground that in no time my feet feel like they are encased in blocks of ice.

Just when I thought most of the ice on the pavements had gone and it was safe to venture out, down comes more snow. No doubt you are suffering the same fate and have a similar tale to tell.

Now that the snow had gone I thought it might be a good time to revisit Tigers Clough. I was hoping that the melting snow and the recent rain had provided plenty of water to rush over the waterfall.

I haven’t been out much these past few weeks, a small health problem (happily now sorted) and a knee injury keeping me confined to barracks. So I thought I’d drag out a few pictures to share with you that bring back memories of other walks.
