Turton Moor and the Entwistle reservoirs 10.5miles 1400ft


Winter Hill from the climb onto Turton Moor

Zooming in on the Manchester skyline

Winter Hill again as the Top'o'Moor is reached  

The trig point at a lowly 329m 1080ft 

The Blackburn to Manchester railway passes through the Turton Hall
estate. James Kay (inventor of flax spinning), owned the estate in 1847 when the railway was built. He commissioned two footbridges insisting on a Medieval style!

Lunchtime at Jumbles reservoir....

....and now passing Entwistle reservoir

Starting the climb up through the woods above Wayoh reservoir 

Wayoh reservoir and dam after gaining height

A final look across the valley to Bull Hill with Peel Tower just
visible on the ridge
