27 January 2008 - Sutton Bingham

The final stop on my cycle ride.

The first view of the reservoir on my approach from Halstock. Not much water considering all the rain of late!

A closer look at the channel made by the flowing river.

The Norman church of All Saints.

_MG_4447

Virtually empty on the western side of the causeway.

Also incredibly low on the eastern side.

A closer look at the dam. Whilst cycling past this on the way home I discovered the reason for the low water. Wessex Water are carrying out £5M of maintenance work on the dam to extend its life. To do this they must have drained down the water.
