D Dowdswell Dam the bigest in Glos, I think, very unimpressive even more so from bike accessable side, just a grass bank with sheep grazing. Lake side at least looks more like a dam but cannot get bike in pic from there.

F- Forest of Dean the Speech Stone, marks the centre of the forest at Speech House where the Verderers Court met to maintain the forest laws.
Out for a ride to sort out more of the route for our club Daffodil run through the Glos Daffodil triangle then through the Forest to the Wye Valley, though I will not be using the Vara for the run.
