~Pendle Hill~
12th October 2010
Written on November 1st, this report looks back on one of the few really good evenings for a Pendle Walk during the month of October.

From the road
On the way into Barley, I took this photo.
Lower Ogden Reservoir
I parked in Barley and followed the path up past the two Ogden Reservoirs.
Upper Ogden Reservoir
The sun is setting and it's a bit of a rush to get to the top in time.
Sunset on Pendle
I am just in time as the sun goes down over the summit plateau.

That's It
The last evening walk before the clocks go back, but I didn't know it at the time. From now on, I'm going to have to leave work early to get to the start in time for an ascent of Pendle - if I want to see a sunset.
Walkers: Just Me
Time taken: 1hr and 50 minutes over 5 miles.
Route: Barley, Ogden Reservoirs and up Ogden Clough to the summit, down the steps and across the fields to Barley.
Weather and conditions: A sunny evening
Greetings Count: One dog walker, one runner and one paraglider taking the quick way down.
Richard's Refreshment Review: Nothing to report today.
