	Derwent Reservoir walks - Howden Reservoir walk - The Dambusters Dam walk - walks in Yorkshire
		This 17th-century bridge once spanned the river further south at Derwent village, but the construction of the Ladybower dam, which began in 1935, meant that the whole area would be submerged beneath the waters of the Derwent.
		The Howden Reservoir was the first of the Derwent Reservoirs to be started in 1901: the Derwent was started a year later.
		Nearly two miles later it reaches the Derwent Dam, where there is a memorial to 617 Squadron the Dambusters, who buzzed this place on low-level practices for their May 1943 raid on Moehne and Eder Dams in Germany.

	The Upper Catchment
		This is a naturally filling reservoir, with water flowing by gravity either for treatment at the Bamford Water Treatment Works and then via the Derwent Valley Aqueduct to the Midlands or supplied to Yorkshire Water via the Rivelin Tunnel.
		Built between 1902 and 1916, the dam is of a masonry construction.
		Originally solely operating in conjunction with Howden Reservoir, increasing demand led to the construction of an intake from the River Ashop.

	Edinburgh Bicycle: Derwent Reservoir Circuit
		At the road you can follow the reservoir shore all the way round back to the start, the first quarter is on a quiet road, but once past the bus terminus it gives way to a wide gravel road suitable for all-year road-fast riding.
		At the head of the reservoir the track becomes more rocky, and once over the bridge the climb is technical enough to be challenging to all but the most experienced riders.
		The climbs are quite tough though and the hills to the west of the reservoir are challenging both on the way up and down, and although the reservoir section is long it's quite tame, enabling you to whiz along and take in the gorgeous views as you fly past all the tourists.

		East to west is 19 miles making 900 square miles, such was the size of the Royal Forest compared to Sherwood's 200 square miles and Barnsdale's 30 square miles.

	Derwent Reservoir
		This water is around 30 years old, and is the result of the river Derwent being dammed.
		The river Derwent contained trout, sea trout, salmon, roach, dace, greyling, perch and probably pike.
		The reason I think it probably held some pike, is that the river Derwent is a part of the river Tyne system and this definitely had a good head of pike to over 20lb around the time that the Derwent was dammed.

	Edinburgh Bicycle: Derwent Reservoir Circuit
		Once you pass Lockerbrook Farm the track becomes more technical, with large rocks and slabs of stone making a kind of path that may suit walkers better and makes for a fun and technical climb.
		This route is actually quite difficult to grade, certain sections are really technical while other parts are suitable for beginners and families out for a gentle ride.
		Usual emergency tools are a good idea and enough fluid and food to keep you going for a couple of hours at least.

	River Derwent
		WHERE IS IT?: The river runs from the outflow of Derwent reservoir in the North Pennines.
		At Allensford if the river has a wave under the bridge then you are probably in luck, the next 100 yards after that are the some of the most difficult to get along if the river is low, so once past there you are home and dry.
		It is very remote all the way down to Allensford as it passes under the A68 after about 10 Kms, the main danger here being fallen trees, etc. The accent on this stretch being more on the adventure and exploration than the white water that will be encountered.
