Living in Malpas for so many years one tends to take what is on your doorstep for granted. I have lost count how many times I have gone and sat up and Llangedfedd Reservoir, or walked around there, watched the sailing club members trying to launch their colourful little boats. I had forgot about it all really until yesterday, when a friend from Brighton who was staying needed to be entertained for a day, so I thought about Llandegfedd. After all a day out there is free!
It was as delightful as ever, the weather behaved itself for once this week and the sun came out! The reservoir is North of Newport and the largest in the area. These days it is a Country Park and supports the Sailing Club and Windsurfing School (with rescue provided). Dinghies, windsurfer boards and canoes can all be hired there too.
We enjoyed a quiet afternoon there and managed to photograph some grebes and their new family. Very enjoyable and thoroughly recommended for an afternoon out.
