Pendle Hill
Five intrepid walkers braved the inclement weather and set forth on
the ascent of Pendle Hill, although due to the poor conditions the
walk length was reduced from 8 to 5 miles.
"Winnie the Witch", not currently presenting a halloween quiz was one
of the walkers, and she explained that she was climbing Pendle Hill in
memory of her ancestors who were cruelly condemmed at Lancaster
assizes four hundred years ago.
Winnie was in a particular buoyant mood as she had been given
permission to park her broomstick in our car park.
Although setting out in poor weather, around 12:00 the promised break
in the rain occurred and surprise views of the surrounding Pennines
were revealed.
The reduced length of the walk was appreciated by Winnie who was
doubtless missing the aid of her broomstick.
Tea and scones in Barley village were much appreciated at the end of the walk.
Attendees: Chris, Christina, Denise Pete & Sue (Winnie)

Lovely walk today in wonderful sunny weather with a great group of people turning up, 23 in total.
We stopped at the Fox Inn, at Brook Bottom for a nice pint and a sandwich, lovely pub
Along the way we passed the Torr Vale mill, and Rock mill at New Mills using the Millennium walkway. We saw the Hydro-electricity generator at work there,using Archimedes screw.
The children in the group enjoyed the playground!!
