| Comments: | Nineteen people took part, in inclement weather, on a circular anti-clockwise walk around Stocks Reservoir. The group partook lunch just prior to afternoon rain attempting to replenish the reservoir. The footpath around Brook House Green (Farm) appears to have been re-routed to the North of the farm instead of through the farm yard to the South. By following a well defined track you can reach Lower Barn. Thanks to the Leader and Back Marker. | ||
