Fontburn Reservoir

Our August excursion took us to the lovely Fontburn Reservoir, within sight of the Simonside hills. It was nice to have Fred back with us.

Again the weather was fine but there was an unseasonably strong wind whipping up a few waves.

Fearns. You just cant escape them at this time of year!

Anne-Marie took the camera off me and decided I should be in the blog. I do like jumpers.

This is where we stopped for lunch. Ken was more than ready, as  Andrea is pointing out.

Jackson after being offered (and accepting) various lunchbox items.

Things got quite precarious.

Whatever happened, Margaret thought it was quite funny...

Wind and Wuthering...

This looks a fairly ordinary photo but seconds later there was great drama as Mary and Fred tumbled into a hidden stream. If I was a proper photographer I would have caught the action!

It was a good but tiring walk with some rough terrain. Even Jackson was weary by the end!
We stopped off at the Highlander Inn near Ponteland on the way back and planned our next walk (16th September).
