Full description: From the carpark we'll head down past the bottom reservoir and then turn right to head along the southern side of the waters. Carrying on off the end of the reservoirs, we'll bear left through Copy Wood and then along the fields to Hollins. A few hundred metres of walking along pavement, and then it's back into fields, then woodland, descending to the reservoirs and then the car park.
There's a pub called The Peacock around 1km from the car park, so that's the place to go for drinks afterwards.

There are plenty of picnic benches etc around the reservoirs, so we'll try to grab a nice spot for lunch.

Public transport or car sharing options: 

The public transport situation is difficult on a Sunday, so I'd recommend car-sharing as much as possible. Please organise in the comments. Parking is £3.50, and the machine only seems to accept cash.
