Ardsley Reservoir near Wakefield.
It was a glorious day as the usual triumverate was reduced to a pair consisting of Brian and Colin who rendezvoused on Barkly Road in Brian’s automatic Honda Jazz for a short trip up to Ardsley Reservoir for a couple of laps.
Parking was at a premium in the car park so we parked on the adjacent road.
The area was extremely busy with dog walkers and families staying healthy in the latest lockdown.
The sun was trying its best to break through but it never actually succeeded and there was a cold breeze whipping up off the water.
There were lots of gulls but the piece de resistance was the hovering Kestrel hunting in the adjacent fields next to the reservoir. It had disappeared by the time we did the second lap. The walk was around an hour and a half with around 8,000 steps to keep our bodies in good health.
On departing the reservoir we returned via Middleton along Sharp Lane and called in to the Middleton Café for a couple of lattes and a tuna salad sandwich for me.
Brian then dropped me back on Barkly Road for the short walk back home.
Another lovely walk around the local attraction that is Ardsley Reservoir.
