~Pendle Hill~
25th March 2010
The first ascent of Spring and, to be honest, nothing much on offer other than peace and quiet....
The Summit
Scroll down for photos and a description of the walk
Setting The Scene
Roadside parking at 17:25, no leaves on the tree yet.
The Steps
The Others
Half-way up and the only other two people I saw are coming up behind me. Normally I do not allow overtaking, but I wanted as much of the summit to myself as possible, so I let them pass.
The Bus
The bus passing the tree where I parked. That's Upper Black Moss Reservoir further away.
The Summit Plateau
The others have moved on and there's nobody else around to disturb the peace and quiet. Never any threat of a sunset tonight.
The Trig
On the left is Ingleborough and on the right is Pen-Y-Ghent.
Walkers: Just Me
Time taken: 1hr 9 minutes over a distance of approx. 3 miles.
Route: Roadside parking and the shortest route to the top, up righ, along the top, down left.
Weather and conditions: Overcast, no wind.
Greetings Count: Very Low - one other couple on the ascent.
Richard's Refreshment Review: Nothing to report today.
