Route description: Sabden-Deerstones-Ogden Clough-Pendle Hill-Boar Clough-Upper Ogden Reservoir-Driver Height-Spence Moor-Churn Clough Reservoir-Heyhouses-Sabden

A walk up Pendle Hill from Sabden. The snowy weather has relented and I take the opportunity to get out. I parked in Sabden and headed north for the outcrop of Deerstones on the southwest flank of Pendle. I then made my way to Pendle's summit. From the summit I descended down to and across Ogden Clough, across Spence Moor and back to Sabden.
