An Autumnal Spectacular Walking and Picnic Event
Welcome to a Trio of Reservoir Walk! This OutdoorLads walk will take us around all three large reservoirs: Entwistle, Wayoh and Jumbles. A perfect way end the week with a good ol' "leg stretcher".
There will be a mixture of terrains starting with a relatively leisurely flat walk around Entwistle, before the more challenging Wayoh and Jumbles, being completed in one lengthy loop.
We will stop off for a short while to enjoy Jumbles and have a picnic. There will also be time for coffee breaks and photo opportunities throughout the day.
After passing the water plantation on Wayoh on our home stretch, we will walk along the hillside paths – uphill, before reaching the final stretch of the walk which takes us back via the ‘Strawbury Duck’ country inn, and down back to the car park. The Strawbury Duck is approx. 5-10 mins from the car park.
This is a dog-friendly walk so please bring your pooches along.
Free parking.
Please message the event leader if you have any questions prior to the event.
