Comments: | It's surprising how different a route seems when you do it the opposite way round to normal! It looks like the reservoir near Burns Farm is no longer in use and nearby construction seems to have been going on for a long time. The route was extremely muddy between Woodacre Pasture and Barnacre Moor. |
