Parked on small lay-by at SD 818 410. Climbed to N end of summit plateau via Brown House. Trig, then back to Barley via Spence Moor and Ogden Clough. Saw and heard curlews in the pasture and skylarks on the top. Misty start which burned off revealing yesterday’s snowfall under bright sun. Paths all very clear but some soggy patches on Spence Moor. | Vulcan | 03/03/2024 |

With Izzy and Margo. Parked at the crossroads near Roughlee at SD 83644 39916. Walked up to and past the Upper Ogden Reservoir. Then made a bit of a navigation cock up and came up via Cat Holes rather than Boar Clough as intended. Sadly no views at the top but they soon cleared. Very cold into a northerly wind. Down via the Pendle Way into Barley and a pint at the Pendle Inn (disappointing). | James McKnight | 11/02/2024 |
Solo. From Barley via the Ogden reservoirs and then the path up Boar Clough to the summit of Pendle Hill. Went north before descending down stone steps and the directly back to Barley. Saw hardly anybody on the ascent but there must have been more than a hundred making the ascent on more direct routes. A beautiful summer day. | pwbellarby | 09/08/2023 |

I've been up Pendle Hill many times, finally thought I'd log it on here. Today I joined a group of friends to climb up and watch the sunrise, which was stunning it has to be said. Perfect conditions and an easy walk. | meltdiceburg | 15/01/2022 |

Roadside parking part way up the hill at SD 815 416, walked up the diagonal path on the right and down the one on the left. By far the most popular hill of the day! | paulhilder | 10/08/2021 |

Super round with my missus up via the dams, down east side. | Nick Canute | 14/06/2021 |
Parked at Barley Picnic Site. Donation £1 which helps the parish council with up keep. Took the path out past both lower and upper Ogden reservoirs, which then rises beside Boar Clough. This is a far easier way up than coming up the steep face directly from Barley or Barley Lane. Passing trippers puffing their way up as I decended to Barley, I knew I’d made the wiser move. | Pete West | 05/06/2021 |
James and Sue, snowed | HardenC | 06/05/2021 |

Lockdown re-visit. | Alan Caine | 20/12/2020 |
Parked at Barley and joined the hordes climbing the shortest, steepest and muddiest ascent to the summit. Dropped off the back to Ogden Clough and Reservoir for a much quieter, longer and more pleasant decent. Dismayed at the state of the route up today and the behaviour of our population. | Argentum66 | 06/12/2020 |
