Cold yesterday for the opening, plenty of ice first significant ice on the reservoir this winter, boat pontoon remained frozen until mid day, no boats out before mid day Full report to follow.

Water level
The water level gauge situated in front of the dam overflow just off the main car park shows the current level at 3ft6in off the full mark.
