Direction marker in Ogden Clough A footpath follows the western side of the clough up to this point, then turns east-north-east towards the summit. In a very dry summer, crossing the stream was trivial, but it may not be so easy in wet weather. The clough also forms the borough boundary between Pendle (right) and Ribble Valley (left).
