This afternoon we visited another three reservoirs grouped together along the River Balder which flows into the River Tees between Middleton-in-Teesdale and Barnard Castle. Walkers anglers and motorists seemed well catered for when we visited, with plenty of car parks convenient for the reservoirs and surrounding moors.
