Please note that this review is not about the Boat Club but the walks in its vicinity. At present the footpaths are in a dreadful state. Wet winter weather often renders the footpaths muddy and unpleasant. Since the advent of Covid 19 many more people have been walking in the area and this has inevitably caused some erosion. My suggestion would be to avoid the area unless there is a hard frost or wait until later in the year when paths have recovered.

Terrible service, i came back a year later after my previous assault. What i found was truly horrifying, the large lady who previously tried to eat me chased after me once she recognised who i was. She again tried setting their poor german shephard dog onto me but once again, he simply wanted a stroke. The drunk man later came out of the cottage, broken bottle in hand, he swung and tried to glass me. I said "i see you know your judo well" he tried swatting me again with the glass bottle and i said "THIS IS DEMOCRACY MANIFEST!!" i was simply trying to enjoy my succulent chinese meal and all these

Went for a walk around the resevoir only to find that there are massive barbed wired fences everywhere stopping you from actually going around the whole thing. I had to jump one fence to get back to the main road as i wasn't going to walk all the way back on myself when what i assume is the owner of the sailing club came from the cottage and tried to attack me. He was quite clearly drunk and his large wife tried holding him back but he kept swinging punches at me and then they tried to set their German Shepherd on me but it seemed like he just wanted a good stroke from me (probably the only love

I'm saddened really by the "elite" that think themselves above everyone else.
On the way to the rowing club your bombarded with private signs, signs to say don't feed the duck, don't have picnics, blah blah blah.... Never, in 50 years have I witnessed an open area such as this enforce such draconian rules... Seems the gates now has signage telling you to make sure the gates are closed by members once passed through? Maybe 2 strangers have dared drive up there in last 25 years so now no ones allowed.
My experience on meeting staff/owners are not good ones, controlling, pompous and arrogant...
