Pendle Summit
Scroll down for photos and a description of the walk....
Sunrise over Neslon
Sunday morning and the short drive to Barley offered a view of the sunrise.
Pendle Hill from Roughlee
And then a view of Pendle Hill on the approach to Roughlee. I parked at the roadside and soon found this hungry blackbird rummaging in the long grass for breakfast.

Pendle over Barley Hill
Maybe I hit the top 30 minutes too soon? Later in the day, I had a walk from home, down to the Leeds & Liverpool Canal.

Damaged Bridge
This bridge has lost one parapet, presumably to vandalism. The canal has a thin skim of ice on the surface.
