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.Vulcan03/03/2024

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 McKnight11/02/2024
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.pwbellarby09/08/2023

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.meltdiceburg15/01/2022

From Barley Picnic Site lovely approach to the tourist track which was surprisingly quiet. Great clear views from the trig. Descended to the Ogden Reservoirs to make a nice 5m routeJephcote8320/08/2021

Super round with my missus up via the dams, down east side.Nick Canute14/06/2021
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 West05/06/2021

Lockdown re-visit.Alan Caine20/12/2020
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.Argentum6606/12/2020
