With the forecast for the next few days looking really poor I decided that I had to take advantage of the dry weather this afternoon to stretch my legs.
A very simple there and back walk straight up the front of Parlick and on to Fair Snape Fell with the return by the same route.

At the start of the walk looking across the Bowland countryside
Through the gate ahead at Fell Foot and then it's straight up the front of Parlick
The view across the Loud valley to Longridge Fell with Pendle Hill just visible in the distance on the left
Beacon Fell
Pendle Hill and Longridge Fell from the summit of Parlick
Fair Snape Fell ahead with its top in cloud. That's the way it stayed unfortunately.
Fair Snape Fell. It's very windy. If it wasn't for the shelter that's up here I would have headed straight back down.
Heading back to Parlick
On Parlick again and I can just make out the West Pennine Moors in the distance
Down to Fell Foot..
Back at the car and the sun makes one last attempt at putting in an appearance
