APR25: A Trio of Reservoirs

#GetOutMore this April!

This event is one of loads of events taking place over the same weekend! Check out all the events over the weekend of 4-6 April 2025: OutdoorLads.events/APR25. Great for new and regular members!

An invigorating SPRING SATURDAY 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 to end the week with a, 'good ol' "leg stretcher", and a chance to enjoy the fresh feeling of spring !

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 while to rest and enjoy the views and have a picnic whilst at Jumbles. There will also be time for coffee breaks and  photo opportunities throughout the day.

The Jumbles Reservoir is a heavily modified, high alkalinity, shallow reservoir in North West England. It lies in Jumbles Country Park, in the valley of Bradshaw Brook, partly in the Metropolitan Borough of Bolton, Greater Manchester, and partly in Blackburn with Darwen, Lancashire

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.

Free parking.

Entwistle train station is located next to the Strawbury Duck, which is only a 5 minute walk to the meeting point.
 
Meeting at Entwistle Reservoir Lower Car Park.

Please message the event leader if you have any questions prior to the event.

Well-behaved, socialised and under-control dogs are welcome on this event.

Dogs must be kept on a lead whenever this is signposted and whenever we are in the vicinity of livestock, and at the event leader's request. It's a good idea to check what the route may be like with the event leader before booking to find out more about the potential suitability of the walk for dogs.

Waitlist: If this event is fully booked and you want to attend, just add yourself to the waitlist, because places inevitably become available closer to the date.
