Twenty people and a dog pack left Bradfield in slightly drizzly conditions. However very soon the sun and blue skies took over. We welcomed 2024 with sherry and biscuits at Dale Dyke Resefvoir, then crossed uner the dam. Higher up on the other side we lunched by a dry stone wall – great views to Agden Roche. Down the Strines road we passed the old Windmill Hill Outdoor Centre – now with roof but essentially derelict. An attractive path leading around Agden Reservoir (busy with human dippers) led us back to the start. 12km total and lovely dappled light all the way round. A fabulous start to another 12 months of outdoor adventure. Happy New Year!
