Dovestone Edge

It was the usual (for this summer) rainy Sunday so Colin, Bev, Jen and I had a walk over Dovestone Edge in the Chew Valley. This was an area I hadn't visited for a year or two and there had been some changes. The RSPB had taken over the management of the area including the car park by the sailing club and parking was free for members.
We set off up the service road to the reservoir dam high on the moor then walked back along the edge. Between the rain and hail showers we managed some good views over the valley and towards Wimberry, Aldermans Head and Manchester.

We dropped down after crossing Dovestone Clough and traversed below the edge and Dovestone Quarry back th the car park.
