Reservoir lay-by, exposed noisy nights

I pulled in and was going to stay here but ended up opting for a spot a little further along the same road. Huge gravel lay-by, loads of space for multiple vehicles (there was another van getting set up while I was there) and lovely views over the hills and reservoir. My only concern was because there is so much space you risk having a lot of neighbours and not everyone is quiet and respectful.

Positives: fantastic views and very convenient, not many visitors and good phone signal (EE). Negatives: Exposed (although that doesn't bother us), not easy to get level, Traffic and occasional boy-racers passing all night, including someone who felt the need to learn on his horn at 02:00!! Overall though, a good spot.

Good night's sleep and great walking.✦Translating

the footpath is along the Thornton Moor Conduit, which is a man made channel moving water around several reservoirs, so was an interesting dog walk. Not much traffic but a few late cars pulling in with music playing. Overall a good nights sleep and pleasant view.
