Had Friday off work but a very grey outlook for the lakes convinced me to stay more local where it promised to be a bit clearer.

Pendle Hill is always fun and I like to get it up it once a year - so decision made. Used a few of the multiple paths to the summit and included little Worsaw Hill to make a good walk.

Still a bit grey mind but very mild for the time of the year.

Worsaw Hill - not strictly access land but close to a right of way and with no hint of objection apparent to climb it

It's a pretty grey outlook over East Lancashire - but at a least the summits are clear here

A network of newly laid paths have sprung up close to the summit. Not sure they were especially needed.
