Erosion control below the summit of Pendle The western flank of the hill is on a much gentler gradient than the eastern escarpment, leading to boggier ground. The geotextiles, and small wooden dams across the peat grough, are aimed to reduce erosion.

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).
