Icy Road |
The Start |
Friday afternoon and upon arrival in Barley, a heavy hail/snow shower was in attendance. As it tailed off, we started our walk at 14:30hrs, alongside two first-timers from Blackburn. A challenging day to make your first aquaintance with a snowy hill.
Hail/Snow Shower
The shower with its NW to SE track is on its way to Burnley and beyond. Clear weather follows and we are walking in the fresh snow.

Sunset
Not quite the sunset time, but near enough. Pendle is always best in white!
Heading Home
Molly n' Me from the roadside, up the steps, summit, back down the steps. Cold and sunny on top, 1hr and 45 mins of good fun.
