Pendle Hill
Looking good this afternoon, this is a hot summer's day and not for everyone or every dog. It won't be easy!
Lower Ogden Reservoir
Start time of 14:05hrs from Barley car park. Today's route is past both reservoirs and up Ogden Clough. I'm carrying one litre of water and refreshments - I don't usually bother, but these are testing circumstances.
