Thanks everyone for coming back to check up on me! Training programme is going well and last week, with the help of my team, we managed to complete a marathon in our works gym. I only did 5 of the miles but it's progress!
Ogden - Saturday 26 February.
Well as usual, it was tipping it down on Saturday for my run around Ogden Reservoir in Halifax. I finally dragged myself out of the car and made my way to the onsite café (which was shut unfortunately!)
I set off anti-clockwise and despite heavy rain, the paths were still in great condition. A new newt pond has been put in on your right hand side, which is great for anyone with children who love pond dipping. It rained the whole way round and when I got back to the duck feeding area near the café, I was ready for a brew.
Last year, our contractors Mott MacDonald Bentley, were onsite for around three weeks doing investigations and we'll know shortly if we need to return to carry out further work. Our dedicated reservoir investment page will be kept upto date with any developments so feel free to visit yorkshirewater.com/reservoirs
Loads of parking is available at the reservoir but it does get busy (particularly in summer). I met loads of people on my way round a few other runners. Definitely one of my favourite places to visit and highly recommend it – preferably on a sunny day though!!
