Despite the comparatively dry early summer of 2010 the reservoir is full with water just trickling over the relief spillway. Unlike the motley collection of ducks aimlessly paddling around in the next grid square in [[2056097]] these three have a purpose... ...to join the others.

The pond is probably the only section of the long lost Charnwood Forest Canal, which linked Thringstone to Nanpantan, to still hold water. It was originally built to carry coal and leaves only a few traces along its original route. There are open fields to the left and the curiously named Snell's Nook Lane is straight ahead.
