| Comments: | With a dry middle of the day forecast Lisa, Paul and Luna joined me for the first walk of the year onto Pendle Hill | ||
The sun highlights the start of our walk . . .
and we are pleased to have completed the muddy track
Early in the climb the views begin to open up . . .
but there's still lots more ascent to complete
A narrow footpath takes us across the side of Pendle Hill rather than to the summit . . .
and Luna joins Paul in the lead
