Towards Wet Sleddale

I met a friend for lunch near Melkinthorpe today.  It was good to catch up with her.  

The drive up the M6 had been slow so I opted for a return via the A6 instead.  Stopped just after Shap for this view across towards Wet Sleddale.  You can just see the reservoir wall.

Wet Sleddale Reservoir is an artificial reservoir set amongst the Shap Fells south of Shap Village.  The reservoir can store 2,300 million litres of water.  It was created by the construction of a dam across Sleddale Beck in order to supply Manchester with water.
