 |
| A cold, breezy but sunny autumn day, set the scene for our Halloween walk in Pendle |
 |
| Our walk was to start from Barley where we found the car park to be closed on which must be the busiest day of the year in Pendle. |
 |
| After heading back down the parked up road to the village, we set off across the green. |
 |
| Leaving the village behind, we turned right up a narrow, steep road towards Lower Black Moss Reservoir. |
 |
| Turning right and uphill again, with Pendle hill behind us we pass Higher Black Moss Reservoir on our left. Immediately on our right is the entrance to the sculpture trail. |
 |
| We settle down for our morning brew here. Several families passing by on their way to the sculptures. |
 |
| Our route however was straight ahead. Where the paths divided we took the right hand path up to the road and turned right. At the next junction we turned right again towards Roughlee. |
 |
| The road to Roughlee, initially fairly level, before long presented us with a steep climb At the brow of the hill, a steep descent came into view. |
 |
| Part way down the hill, we crossed a stile on the left, crossing a couple of fields. |
 |
| Where we stopped for lunch, (or is that dinner). |
 |
| Off again, the next field with a large gate at the opposite side leads out onto the road from Blacko, we turn right towards Roughlee. |
 |
| The residents of Roughlee have made a commendable effort to entertain and attract visitors. |
 |
| This statue is in memory of Alice Nutter, one of ten alleged witches who were hanged on Gallows Hill in Lancaster, in the year 1612 |
 |
| We turned right along a path by the river towards White Hough, stopping on route for a compulsory bridge photo |
 |
| The lovely hamlet of White Hough is also home to an L.C.C Outdoor Education Centre. |
 |
| Literate horses must have caused past residents to have their suspicions. A short walk from here saw us back at the cars. 6 miles The End |
