Barley

This walk started in Barley at 18:40hrs from the main car park. It being my second attempt at a Pendle ascent on this day, the earlier one at 09:00hrs failed due to havy rain - I never left the car.

Many miles away to the south-east. The red colours derive from workers' vehicles and cabins, they are doing something at the wind farm.

The Sunset from Pendle

Being a sunsetologist, I might give this one 7/10. The later, weaker, oranger sunshine was lost behind a bank of cloud and a few clouds closer to the summit would have served to complete the picture.
