Went for a walk around Rudyard lake Staffordshire.

On a very wet and windy day .
Started at Rudyard Steam narrow gauge Railway Station .

Headed North on the Old disused Railway line .
Now a Recreational path for walkers cyclists ,less than 1K along came to The Dam and bridge over the Reservoir .

With a great view of the boats and the distance of the length of the Lake .

Conditions were very muddy and pools of water .
But plenty of visitor ,walkers about .

On down following the narrow gauge line beside the path arrived at the Huntshouse wood Halt:

To the Northern end of the lake.
Then out off the path to a lane to the outskirts of Rushton Spencer .

Turned round headed South following the tarmac lane .

Came out of the wooded area into open land .

Where the tracked lane wound Its way uphill to a distant farm .
I could see the Waymarker sign veering off to the left .

But also a Herd of Cows .....Drat sugar,    On No
Decided to wait Even though blowing a gale and pouring down with rain .

Eventually most of the herd moved off .

So I went past the waymarker and path and under the canopy of the trees .

No sooner had I entered the woods when I spotted Cows sheltering in each side of the path .

Having no option but to carry on through them now .

Lucky for me they seemed docile and just watched me walk past .

Carried on uphill till out of sight of the critters then came upon a Old Gothic ruins of The dilapidated Cliffs Park Hall.

And Lodge house, an Eerie place .
The track, trail very rutted and muddy undulating through Reacliffe woods .

On down with many paths to choose from eventually arrived at the sailing club adventure centre .
With cafe and toilets and car Park .

Stayed for a while to take In all the lovely surroundings ,even though a wet rainy day .

Then over the bridge of the dam and to pick up the path leading back to the Steam Railway station.

Walked a nice 6 Miles very enjoyable circular day out.

With the weather been a nice 13C
balmy day and lot of afternoon sunshine.
Had another day out at Rudyard lake .
What a beautiful place .

Having walked from the Steam railway car park .

Headed out along the Old Disused railway track shared by the little steam narrow gauge rail .

Walked alongside the Lake to the far end and back .

Lots of people boating sailing and rowing boats and canoes Ideal conditions as the lake was like a mill pond.
On arriving back at the recreational area with Cafe ,carpark, toilets and boat hire .
Very busy

With all day visitors and the lovely spring like weather .

Took in the views from the Dam and walked down a path below the Weir along a conduit carrying the
Overflowing water away .

Followed a path around a nature reserve .
Onto a wooden walkway platform for viewing flora and fauna .

Then out to cross a road and back to the Steam railway area .

A lovely walk in the sunshine .
