Circular route round Carsington Water, Derbyshire. It was the last dam to be built in England and holds back a huge reservoir of water, pumped up there in the winter for use in the summer. The pathways round the lake were hilly in parts with a few sharp gravel turns at the end of downhills. Picnic afterwards before the rain arrived, planned barbecue moved inside but managed cocktails on the terrace. A cool cloudy sunny day with the odd shower.
