Lower Coldwell Sunset 9th July 2013
I had set off for Pendle Hill on 9th July, but realised it was a bit late, so diverted up to Coldwell Reservoirs for this view. Maybe if I send it to Granada, they will use it on the weather report?
Aitken Wood on Stang Top Moor
Leaving Barly at 18:00hrs, I headed up Barley Hill for a frontal ascent of Pendle, using what I call the "flank" route.

Paths Meet
The track up from Pendle House meets the flank route and jointly head for the summit.

The Plateau
I had the top of Pendle Hill to myself for fifteen minutes, not really what I expected on such a fine evening.

Level up on my last visit, 16 days ago, that's a little surprising.
