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
