Pendle Summit

Barley and Blue Sky
Barley Waterworks |
Aiken Wood |
The walk started at 15:30hrs from Barley car park. The waterworks is slowly being converted to living units, I hesitate to use the term houses. Barley is in the shade with Aiken Wood on Stang Top Moor enjoying the later afternoon sunlight.
Lower Ogden Reservoir
That's the cloud that was casting a shadow over me and Barley. I'm on (possibly) the quickest route to the top from Barley, which goes over Barley Hill and passes Buttock Farm.

Paths Meet |
Almost at the top and the path from Barley meets the track up the side of Pendle.
