March Haigh Reservoir - dry!

March Haigh Reservoir - dry!
On the road to Scommonden Water, and not very far away, we passed a viewpoint down to this empty reservoir in an area known as Nont Sarahs. Apparently it has been drained whilst a valve is being repaired. To my left is a rock escarpment where hang-gliders take off to enjoy the tumbling valley below. See PiP

Enjoy the day.

Almost your region too Dave as it is near Huddersfield. Yes it is time to get the old hang glider out of the shed.

Cheers. Herb

Hi Roger. I think it has been having trouble for a year or so. Sometime ago, helicopters where helping out here carrying supplies. I don't hold much hope here for a speedy solution.

Cheers. Herb

Thanks Joe. It might have been better from a hang glider view but I have never tried it.

A cracking view Herb, even without the water! I was about to ask what was going on, when I re-read your narrative and realised it has been drained!

A cracking image in the PiP too.

Glad you liked the view Keith. Glad it dawned on you why it was empty because we are a long, long way away rom any droughts -quite the opposite in fact. I went up to our local Dovestones yesterday and they were full as could be.

Cheers. Herb

Glad you liked this view Gordon. Even better form a hang glider no doubt.

The road goes all the way down to our local Saddleworth village of Denshaw. i have in fact only done it a couple of times myself although I am sure I have been in the old Nont Sarahs pub, now a Party venue? A long lonely road that!

Enjoy the week my friend. Herb

Hi Peter. I did not know of the existence of this small reservoir until I saw it at this spot before. There are in fact a few newspaper articles with bits of news about it but I refused to accept all the cookies :) so I am none the wiser! Thanks for the call.

Cheers. Herb

Un cliché très efficace, qui montre bien le manque d'eau dans ce réservoir.
