Mr Kipling Makes Exceedingly Good Reservoirs


Well, on the last day of our holiday, and on the way home, we finally found the perfect place to try our new paddleboard - in Staffordshire, of all places. Not exactly the first place that comes to my mind when looking for a tranquil place of natural beauty.


It was another reservoir called Rudyard Lake, in a little place called Rudyard, near Leek. The reservoir is 2 miles long and simply beautiful.


We both started off a bit shaky, but soon got the hang of it. We started paddling on our knees to get the feel of the board and then stood up, when we shot these videos. More practice needed soon.

Loved it so much that we want to go back ASAP. Watch out for news reports that the Rudyard Lake reservoir dam has been damaged and is about to collapse....
