Dawn
Due to some depressing scenes in the cricket from Australia, I made a hasty decision to tackle Pendle Hill and lift my spirits.

Sunrise on Pendle Hill
It happens to be my 50th ascent of Pendle this year. Having passed this figure in the last two years, I wanted to achieve a similar figure and would have preferred a longer walk, but "seize the day" and all that. We had a meal booked elsewhere at noon and I had to get a move on.
Annual "selfie" at the top and along came another walker, unwittingly providing a silhouette-photo opportunity.
