MAP

The club sails on Weecher reservoir situated on the East Morton/Menston road, near High Eldwick, Three and a half miles from Bingley centre. There are three reservoirs on this road, Weecher is the middle one. Please don’t be confused by the dinghy sailing club at Reva reservoir, the most eastery of the three.

Weecher Reservoir map reference is SE 136 422.

Postcode: BD16 3BE This will get you very close to the reservoir.

The lake is very high and exposed, so I would advise plenty of warm clothes and strong shoes. Launching is from a small jetty, or by wellies (recommended) anywhere along the bank. Should the sun make an appearance, you will be looking straight at it on part of the course, so sunglasses are useful. The clubhouse is a portakabin - rustic but function- able!
