Lofthouse to Scarhouse Reservoir

Carolyn & Julie set the pace	What water shortage?	That climb sorted out paratrooper material	This view gives an idea of the immense scale of the Dam's Engineering
Mind you don't stand on a grouse on the moor	Edward takes a rare picture of us together	Bluebells and ferns next to How Stean Beck	Julie, Edward and Carolyn ascending How Stean Gorge valley
Just hold on until we walk under!	Distant view of Middlesmoor from How Stean Gorge	The Crown Hotel in Lofthouse	Bluebell wood on the banks of the River Nidd
Cross River Nidd just before Limley Farm	Carolyn, Edward & Julie with walk end in sight	The beginning of Woodale Scar	More bluebells in late May!
Woodale Scar on opposite valley side	View down the Nidd Valley	The dam is releasing excess water, as the reservoir is full	Darkness closing in over Scarhouse Reservoir from dam wall
Looking across the Valley towards Middlesmoor	Richard, Craig and Bramble	No potholers down Goyden Pot today!	First glimpse of Scar House Reservoir
Richard following the country code	View down the Nidd Valley	Richard trying to get Bramble to pose for the camera	The wind wipping up the waves at the Reservoir
The high winds throwing spray across the dam wall	Craig crossing the dam	Scarhouse Reservoir from Nidderdale Way	Scarhouse Reservoir from moorland
Land Rovers on safari in Yorkshire?	Richard and Craig on Dead Man's Hill	Middlesmoor Church towering over the Nidd Valley	Gouthwaite Reservoir and Lofthouse visible in the background
