On the 25th January 2025, it was a fine blue sky day in Birmingham, so decided to pop to Edgbaston Reservoir after going via Harborne. Got off the no 24 bus on Harborne Road, and walked up via Hagley Road to Reservoir Road. Then just around the reservoir to get the skyline update. Was nice reflections of the city skyline too.
