Today's route was based on
that done on 27th February but with a few changes. The
path alongside Anglezarke Reservoir was rather muddy and
next time I should look for the lower path. Taking an
indistinct footpath through Wheelton Plantation I came
across two barbecue areas which looked like they had
been set up for organised activities. Another enjoyable
walk when the weather turned out to be better than the
forecast. |

I wonder if the farmer is trying to prevent flooding?
Rather a large obstacle!
