Pendle Summit

Pendle Summit

Better weather than the last time up here - three days ago ...

Rainbow

Black Moss

An afternoon of showers has passed and now with fewer of them, Karen and I decided to chance a Pendle ascent. A feint rainbow lands on Aiken Wood as we start the ascent. Start time of 16:30hrs.

Shower Cloud

Bright sunshine on Barley; the shower cloud heads off eastwards and the shadow of Pendle is clear to see.

Pendle Top

It's Karen's first climb of PH since March last year.

Remains

On the other side of the trig to the missus are the remains of somebody or maybe a pet. I sincerely wish that folk would deposit their loved ones away from the summit. The hilltop is vast and there's room for everyone, but the summit circle is a a target for all Pendle climbers and it's not right for ashes to be "spread" just here. In my opinion!!
