The pictures below were sent to me by John Holland and are from a walk around the 3 reservoirs at Rivingtonon the 7th December 2008. I am not familar at all with the area but John who lives nearby kindly supplied the text for the pictures. For those amongst you who like sunsets they will love the final two pictures.
