Waterways includes rivers, streams and reservoirs, all of were be encountered over the course of the expedition. We walked past the Ladybower and Derwent reservoirs on day one, we camped nearby the River Sett on day two, past Torside reservoir on day three and on our final day we walked past 4 different reservoirs, finishing off at Greenfield reservoir. Despite all being freshwater habitats, different species were present in the reservoirs and streams because still water and running water support different birds.
