It had clouded over slightly by the time I arrived at Yeoman dam wall where I was also exposed to a cool breeze where for the first time on this November day I felt on the cold side, nevertheless my jacket remained tied under my pack hood and my sleeves remained rolled up. From Yeoman Reservoir I followed the circular foot path along the shores of Dove Stone Reservoir which was packed with people so tightly I could hear conversations as I hurried past only stopping to take the odd photo like this one which brought my walk to end on the Dove Stone Reservoir dam wall. The car park lay below which looked chaotic to say the least, I grabbed a few more minutes while gearing up for the chaos which awaited me.
Within seconds of opening my tailgate one driver pulls up "you leaving mate" I am, but your gonna have to wait while I take this lot off, on went his indicator. While being watched by a family of four I de-layered as the chaps wife gets out the car and thanks me for my space "it's really stressful this isn't it" I'm sorry to have to do this but we can't park...aye no bother I replied, I'm ready to go now as I handed over my all day parking ticket, you can keep that I said, funny how a great walk leaves you in a great mood. |
