Our morning visit is to Grimwith Reservoir, parking in the reservoir car park (SE063640). The purpose of this visit is not to walk the whole way around the reservoir but to seek out bird life along the south and west banks of the reservoir or to search for Adders-tongue ferns along the north bank. We will divide into two groups for this purpose and we may or may not be successful in our quests! Please be aware that Grimwith Reservoir is in a very exposed location about 300 metres above sea level so you will need to dress accordingly.
The second part of the outing will be to Trollers Gill, parking at the side of the minor road near Parcevall Hall (SE068615) so approaching Trollers Gill from the south along the valley of Skyreholme Beck. There should be much botanical interest along the valley at this time of year. There are toilets at Grimwith Reservoir.
