21.12.18 Thorton Water walk app 5 miles, mince pies etc at the end.




A grey day at Thornton Reservoir. The geese came out and met us as we arrived. 


A sign to show us the way around.




 And we were off on our way with what looked like a wave from one of the geese.




There had been a lot of rain during the night so we were expecting a few puddles here and there.


The level of the reservoir was still very low after the summer drought.




It was very quiet walking around, could be that the weather had put a lot of walkers off.


We did find quite a lot of this.








Taking the high path to dodge some of the puddles.



At the dam we turned around and set off back the way we came to make the walk a bit longer.




Back at the car park we stopped for all sorts of goodies i.e. mince pies, cakes and biscuits, our usual last walk before Christmas treat before going on the golf club for a cuppa. 


The geese were happy with their share.




Over coffee, one of our walkers showed off his 'tattoo' - very trendy!



Have a great Christmas everyone.

See you all next week and don't forget the bus passes.
