No pics for the next two and a half hours - all too busy blethering!!!

Image View down the valley from Rhodeswood Reservoir dam, where we crossed over to the other side of the valley.

At the end of the dam we stopped for an early lunch.

Image Pic as we get going again after lunch.

About an hour and a half after this, as we crossed the Woodhead Reservoir dam, the skies opened, and we all got thoroughly soaked on the walk back to the cars. But it was nonetheless a superb day :D :clap: :thumbup: .
