What Essentials You Need:
• Good Sturdy Boots
• Windproof Outer Jacket
• Gloves
• Waterproofs
• Map
• Compass
• Torch
• 1st Aid Kit

all of which is listed above is and will be essentially needed at some point throughout this walk, as the weather is very changeable and the system can change in just minutes in these mountains.

Area with nice views over the former reservoir, a couple of lost places and newly set up path and benches - an interesting mix of old and new and still in transformation.

The reservoir has changed over the years now. A pity they can't make more out of this valley.
