August 24th

I visited the lake last week, on a gorgeous day. It took me five hours to get round the lake, which is usually a one hour walk - a sure sign I was working hard!

I bumped into Graham, who set up College Lake - he started worked at the lake as a lorry driver when it was a quarry/cement production facility in the 1970s, and through charm, brains, cunning and passion helped the company see that it would be best to make it a nature reserve rather than reverting it to agricultural land. That is a very condensed version of the story.

Below are some photos I took. More people this time.
