Finally went to check this place out. Turning up on a sunny afternoon to find every runner and dog walker in Derbyshire there i retreated for food. Whilst in the van it went black and then came the storms. It was getting late so just ignored the fact im going in a overflow. On the way down i could here kids, lots of them. Was this going to be? As i got round the corner, half a school and teachers were there, luckily they was just leaving. The kids told me to enjoy my climbing ; )

Errwood Reservoir is a drinking-water reservoir in the Peak District, within the county of Derbyshire and very close to the boundary with Cheshire. The reservoir was the second of two reservoirs built in the Goyt valley, the other one being Fernilee reservoir. It was constructed by the Stockport Water Corporation at a cost of £1.5 million, with work being completed in 1967. It is currently owned and operated by UU The reservoir provides drinking water for the town of Stockport and its surrounding areas, and it holds 4,215 million litres of water.

you were there literally an hour before I was, believe this was the day I actually found this thing for the first time. I had no idea what they were, imagine my shock as I climb the outer wall and discover a massive hole. Threw a rock or two in, trying to work out how deep it went, suppose it's lucky I arrived after you'd long gone, or you might've had a nasty surprise

Good report, and I like the plughole pics. It has my sign fetish interest going again, why the need for CCTV, to prevent damage/vandals, and/or deter would be explorers from going into the plughole?
