I'm thinking about doing this hike in October.....wonder if it will be cold ? I haven't lived in the UK for 30 years now so i can't really remember the weather. Nice video, thanks
Pen from ancient Brythonic, in this context meaning hill. Hyll from old English, again meaning hill. And finally hill in modern English, meaning we have a hill, hill ,hill. Somewhere along the line it aquired a D to give us Pendle hill. Apparently it was called Penhul at one point in history.
As with the vast majority, you did the Big End, up and down from roundabout Barley. Nobody does the end to end walk, mainly because it's a peat-sloshing misery. My dad's house has a full on view of the Brast, and we never see anyone walking the length of it. For sure it is wonderfully photogenic, but apart from chuffing up the Big End it is not a walker's hill. BTW anyone who grew up under it just calls it Pendle. The 'Hill' part is redundant, and just too many extra syllables!
Yes, I have done quite a few routes up Pendle too, the other routes need more awareness, check out bit.ly/SummitElse where I helped the Forest of Bowland promote them earlier this year. The walk from Sabden along the main stretch is my favourite. Thanks for sharing your personal stories! 🤓
Thanks for making this available on TH-cam, greatly appreciated. Pendle is Pendle. If you’re meant to reach the top then you will, if not then you won’t. Tis a test of the person rather than how ‘tough’ Pendle is. It doesn’t matter which way you take to get there, once standing at the top and gazing down at the fields far below it’s easy to feel transformed by your accomplishment. Much has changed since my 1st trek to the ‘beacon’ in 1957 but the thrill of gazing down and leaning into the winds is still the same. Don’t race to get there and don’t be in a hurry to leave - just savour every moment as you add your presence to Pendle’s history.
Ok so the walk here is pretty simple, the initial climb is fairly tough, it goes on a little while too, but beyond that... its all plain sailing, downhill from there. Views are amazing here as well. Let me know if you decide to give it a go!
I used to do a bus route around here. Never got a chance to walk it. Maybe one day 👍🏻
Scenic bus route. Yes, perhaps you should! Short but challenging hike for you.
I used eun up this hill when I was 5 with my family memorise ❤😢
run you say?! haha brilliant! What a place to go as a child, so much nature nearby. Thanks for sharing 🙏🏻
Them steps are a killer, but better to go up then than go down for the knees. Love Pendle hill.
agreed! there are other routes around Pendle hill which are worth a try through the summer. Look up 'summit else forest of bowland' for walk routes 🤘🏼
Thankyou for the video mate help a lot, just subscribed
No worries! Will be sharing many more from around Lancs and beyond 🤘🏼
@@LancashireLadWalks I am going to that walk very soon

its hard to say the weather is ever changeable, might be a little windy up top but it'll be worth it!
@@LancashireLadWalks Thank you

what gps do you use?
Hi, I use outdoor active. There's a few decent ones but I like the user interface to outdoor active.
I'm I going to Pendle Hill today and I've been when I was a little kid and I hated Pendle Hill
haha I bet it was a tough slog back as a kid! Hope you had a better experience the other day :)

Not so fun fact. The neolithic grave mound on the summit was trampled into nothingness during lockdown.
It was around 4,000 years old.
So...is it a tough walk?!
ahh that's for you to find out by doing it, surely! 🤪 Have you walked these parts before?
@@LancashireLadWalks No, never.

@@LancashireLadWalks Went up today...ouch! Storm Otto didn't help. 40mph winds at the summit 🤣
@@alexrose9388 oh no haha! tough day! 🌪 Well done for getting up there!
I've been there with Holy Trinity in your five
It’s not a hill !
🤓 haha only JUST falls within what's classified as a hill, but nice try! 🤪
Gotta say it’s well worth the climb. I’m not too fit but not unhealthy either.
It definitely isn’t a hill !
@@elizabethcotton4659 Afraid you're incorrect on this one. Pendle Hill, is indeed a hill, with a marilyn classification.
@@wezboyes I know!! But it’s bloody hard for the unfit.
Great sense of accomplishment once you get there though x
@@LancashireLadWalksI know!
Hard to see kiddies and oldies bypassing me !!
😀
