Lower Ogden Reservoir

This evening's Pendle walk started from Barley at 17:07. I had it mind to make an ascent tomorrow (Thursday), but the skies unexpectedly cleared late in the afternoon, bringing the walk forward by a day. It's a pleasant Spring evening.

I'm on a higher path than the usual reservoir track. And stay high, finding a new route to the top

Cat Holes

Cat Holes

A deepish hole in the ground, quite uncharacteristic for Pendle Hill. Directly north from here to the summit, following a feint path.

Pendle Sun

Sun over The Scout Cairn

The little pimple on the fell is the Scout Cairn. A hazy western horizon will deny me a spectacular sunset.

Looking West

Well, we're half way there. Three more months to the longest day of the year. I thought that there would have been more folk about this evening, but it was really rather quiet.
