One of the more successful walking books I've used, possibly because I paid attention to the directions this time!
I did the "easy" route up Pendle Hill, easy being a relative term! My leg muscles will know tomorrow that they did something today!
It was a fantastic walk, soundtrack by skylarks, aerobatic display by swifts, and incredible views from the summit.
No witches as far as I could tell, though I was nearly pixie-led at one point ??‍♀️

JamieArc As a Quaker, it‘s fun to see this 😊. There‘s a Quaker retreat center here in the US called Pendle Hill and I hope to go there for a reading retreat at some point. 4d
Bookwomble @JamieArc I did wonder if any of my Litsy friends would enjoy seeing that plaque - I'm glad you found it fun to see 😊 I think that if George Fox could see the sea on the Lancashire coast that day in 1652, it must have been clearer than it was today! 😄 It was sunny and warm with little cloud cover, but hazy, which was picturesque in its own way. 4d

bibliothecarivs @Bookwomble @JamieArc, do you know if Fox was small in stature? I'm wondering about the significance of the 'wee man' graffiti. 3d
JamieArc @bibliothecarivs No, he was described as quite the opposite. I‘m curious about the graffiti now 😂 3d
JamieArc @Bookwomble It‘s gorgeous! And I‘m a walker so I love seeing images like this. 3d
Bookwomble @bibliothecarivs @JamieArc I would imagine it's someone's tag rather than a comment on Fox. "Wee Man" strikes me as being Scottish: it's used there as an affectionate term for a child, or as a mocking term for a man you're not intimidated by. 2d
bibliothecarivs Thanks! 2d

Pendle Hill looks big from far away - it looks bigger close up! This walk does start part way up the hill at the Nick of Pendle, so it should be doable for me🤞🏻
See you at the top!⛰️🚶🏻‍♂️
