Karen and I went for a walk after work on this fine Spring day. Rather than the usual Pendle Hill ascent, we chose a walk around the Black Moss Reservoirs. Barley has some fine houses.
Primitive Methodist Church, Barley
Past the church and then up the lane to Black Moss Reservoirs.

From Lower Black Moss Reservoir dam.
Lower Black Moss
A level check reveals a slight decline from full level. It's been dry for a couple of weeks in East Lancashire.

Normally I would be on top of Pendle Hill, looking towards Black Moss Reservoirs.
