Who would have thought that Ogden Water would have been this quiet on a Bank Holiday weekend? Mind you we did get there well before lunchtime so consequently there was only the odd dog walker about. It was a lot busier as we headed back to the car a couple of hours later.
It's easy to get away from the hordes by heading off either in to the woods or the quieter side valleys. The path up through the woods starts a bit steepish which I think puts a lot of people off and, if you go even higher up on to Ovenden Moor as we did, you can guarantee to be more or less on your own. The walk back down through the woods to the reservoir is on a quiet, mainly unused path and is a sheer delight. Then its just a case of following the main footpath around the reservoir and back to the car.
It had been sunny and it had been hot so the pint we had sitting outside of the nearby Dog and Gun in Oxenhope was most welcoming.
