The Resevoirs

Just past Cotherstone there are some signposts for reservoirs, so the last few weeks we have been ticking them off our walks. There are some spectacular sights up by these, they all have public walks around them. The top picture shows Nicky still walking up the 275 steps to get to Balderhead Reservoir. Just below it is Blackton, and then Hury Reservoir. Further up the road is Grassholme and Selset.

Cotherstone

On Saturday morning we carried on our exploring along the Tees Railway Walk. We started where we left off at Romaldkirk and walked to Cotherstone. A lovely little village. A lot of the places around Barney feel like something from the 70's, and it doesn't take a lot of imagination to picture them 100 years + ago.
