Swiss Valley Reservoir, Llanelli.

Some pictures taken from a walk around Swiss Valley Reservoir, another trip where I was hoping to find another place to go fishing, but to be honest it did look a bit barren even though I did see a few clueless people fishing with heavy duty set ups, no net and one dead Roach which had been unfortunate enough to take one of their baits.

The Reservoir was well hidden and when I did eventually find it and it was massive and quite a nice walk which was aided by a rare dose of sunshine. I even managed to spot two toads in the middle of a late spawning embrace and they didn't seem to happy when I picked them up for a photo, enjoy the photos.

Hi! Don't know if your blog is still current. I live in Swiss Valley, and curiously enough I started my own blog about 2 months ago, and the reservoir/cycle track features a little in it.

Really enjoyed reading your perspective on MY locality!
