| Comments: | We've been here many times but there's always a new route to try out. We climbed steadily to the trig point on Pendle Hill - unusually quiet today. From here we took the zig-zig path down to Hookcliffe Plantation then made our way through fields to Mearley Hall. From here we climbed again, across the lower slopes of Ashendean Clough and back to the the 'Nick' | ||

A mild morning but hazy views across Churn Clough Reservoir
Heading up Ogden Clough . . .

all to ourselves
Looking down to Barley with Lower Black Moss Reservoir on the left and Lower Ogden Reservoir on the right
The path across Ashendean Clough starts of clearly and leads to . . .
a hidden footbridge at Howcroft Barn
No-one on the ski slopes today!
