 | Comments: |
The Middlesex Fells Skyline Trail is an 8 mile loop around the western section of the Fells. There was an area just east of where you approach the South Reservoir (location C5-1)where we lost sight of the otherwise plentiful white blazes of the Skyline Trail. We missed the turn, continued on the Reservoir Trail, then at location C5-2 we left the Reservoir Trail, took Middle Road south, and connected back up with the Skyline Trail. |
