Pendle Summit
Scroll down for photos and a description of the walk....
Pendle from Coldwell Reservoirs on 20th August
I've been off the fells with an awkward back injury. However, I took a few photos during the time that I couldn't walk very far. I found a handy spot between the two Coldwell Reservoirs for this view Pendlewards.
Halifax Road, Brierfield
On the 29th, we have had heavy showers and it's a bit of a gamble going up there this evening. Will there be clear views to the west, or not?
Pendle Stile
And so it was that the skyscape remained mainly cloud-bound. No sunset on 29th August. Back to the week before....

So, not one of the better Pendles. Now back to Sunday 26th and a trip into North Yorkshire.
Train Anticipators
We were heading for Dent station to watch a steam express, but on leaving Ribblehead, I could see the steam from the train in the middle distance. So I decided that Denthead was far enough, otherwise the engine might overtake us.

Sunday's intended destination was Dent Village. But it was full of folk, all hoping to attend the cancelled Dent Show. So to Sedbergh for lunch in The Sedbergh Cafe. Then it started raining and after visiting book shops, we headed home.
The Sedbergh Cafe
Recommended for light lunches and very tasty fruit crumbles!

Greetings Count: Two chaps on top whose eyes didn't lift, this was not a greeting.
The Echo widget thingymebob will vanish on the last day of September 2012. What a shame! Easy to use, giving visitors a voice, audience participation. Seldom abused, but recently so by "The Joker" from West Cumbria. I'll miss him as much as everyone else, but I will endeavour to find an alternative.....
Take me back to the start ....
