Fairly enjoyable walk. Although many miles spent walking by roadsides with limited/no view of the reservoir.

People who follow this route (as I did), please be aware that around 2.7 miles in, the restricted access warning prevented any access of the route whatsoever (unless obtaining permission/key pass).

This left me having to detour back up to the main road and added a further 1.5 miles onto my route and a couple of failed attempts trying to get back to the route again.

This route is definitely more suited to cyclists, but worth the go on a nice day.
