Reservoirs and similar places

Anyone got any ideas for reservoirs that could be flown? I don’t mean cinematic either.

So I saw this video on Youtube and well i kind of want to find somewhere like this near me, or even something slightly like this.

So I am on the hunt for reservoirs with spillways that are similar to this. I am feeling the need for some star wars trench action. :wink:

So the first place I kind of might look at is here.

It’s not quite that good, but it has a bridge.

If you have any thoughts or know of anywhere, let me know.

Ooh…Angram up near my folks. :open_mouth:

It’s a 2 mile walk from the nearest car park, mind.

Only if you crash :grin:

Just “noticed” this, around the corner from me. I’ve walked past countless times without even considering wanting to fly down it.

Aside from the obvious danger of being filled with water and completely inaccessible from either side, the other end is here. :rofl:

Probably not ideal for me, tbh, there are two or three like that in Sheffield. The risk of losing a quad is a bit too high.

I had a look at the reservoir up on saddleworth moor the other day as it has a nice slipway/overspill, but I think it’s likely to be a bit too windy up there, like all the time. :stuck_out_tongue:

The search continues. Will probably try some towards the end of summer when water levels are lower. Saddleworth was full to bursting the other day.
