Did you know our first album cover wasn't taken at the Mouth of the River Cober, but at Colliford Lake, Cornwall?

The trees were petrified after a decision to flood the land to make a reservoir. Each year emerging from their watery grave, standing tall in defiance of their fate

Earlier this summer we welcomed runners of all ages and abilities to compete in the first Reservoir Run hosted South West Lakes Trust and ourselves, with junior, open and veteran categories of 2.5k, 5k and 10k routes to choose from🏃🏃‍♂️

Over 200 runners helped raise a whopping £2,000 for local wildlife charities after racing around our Roadford Reservoir! 👏
