Notes 

Heading out of Greenfield on the Holmfirth road is Dovestone Reservoir. Having lived about 10 miles from this feature for the last twenty years I have to admit this is the first time I have ever stopped to take a look. The evening was very pleasant so we decided to follow the easy track around the reservoir.
