Oldham Interfaith Forum visited one of the most beautiful parts of the country walking around the Dove Stone Reservoir in Greenfield, Saddleworth.

While the weather was variable; alternating between rain and sunshine with high winds, and not quite as sunny as the first photograph - taken in July, the scenery was still impressive and the bracing walk was enjoyed by all.
