Dovestones- David and Steve A day out for David with long-standing friend Steve. We met at the Dovestones car park and walked up the flight of reservoirs, which were all very low. Yeoman Hey Reservoir We took the usual route beside Greenfield Brook and then up Birchen Clough before climbing up to the edge above the reservoirs. Stream just about running down Birchen Clough The ascent feels relatively easy nowadays (compared with the first few times that Jacinta and I did it) but the views are really great, with Greenfield Brook and Birchen Clough seeming a very long way down. View down to the stream and clough below with Black Hill in the distance We stopped for a quick picture above The Trinicle before continuing round to the Chew Reservoir and returning to the Dovestones car park. Above The Trinicle with Greenfield Reservoir in the background A walk of 9.2 miles with 390m ascent.
