Torside Reservoir Overflow
It stopped raining (at last) after lunch, allowing us a walk round two of the Longdendale Reservoirs. After all the recent rain, Torside is finally full to overflowing. Torside is the largest of the five reservoirs in the Longdendale chain and the last to completely fill. I don't think I've ever seen it full to overflowing before, it's often rather low. I believe it has, at times, been purposely kept that way while investigation work was being done to it's dam, which appears to have been fitted with lots of sensors.
The shots below show the overflow back in August (first shot) and October. It's interesting to see the same scene throughout the seasons.
