Pendle Summit
Since the last fully documented ascent of Pendle Hill on 6th April, I've been up there on the 8th, 11th, 14th and 23rd - all a bit much for the website viewer, and indeed the website writer. I'd rather be out in the fresh air than fiddling about with files, folders and pathways to the internet. So here is Pendle ascent No.7 for this month. A fine Sunday morning.
Brierfield Gas Holder
On the way, a look at the early morning mist on the Leeds / Liverpool Canal at Brierfield.
Lower Ogden Reservoir
We started the walk from Barley car park at 07:30hrs.
Upper Ogden Reservoir
Levels down at Upper Ogden Reservoir. I appreciate the architect's decision to use lighter coloured rocks at the top of the reservoir banks, it makes it looks nice :-)

Ogden Clough
We walked up Ogden Clough as far as the flagstones and then aimed for the summit.
The Flagstones
Looking back with West Lancashire under the slightly hazy blue skies.

Dotterel
These migratory birds call in at this time of year on their journey from North Africa to Northern Scotland, or maybe Siberia.

Fine weather for the Sunday Ladies and it's on the steps where we start to encounter the later starters.
