A Pre-Spring SUNDAY 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.
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.
