The Hollingworth Lake Visit!

I had a walk around Hollingworth Lake (Rochdale's local leisure spot) in August 2005, and below are a number of the photographs that I took whilst I was there. You can see that the water level was at the lowest point that it has been in some time! Below are some pictures taken that day of my walk around the area:
