Weets House Farm The sign in the foreground indicates they have an alpaca herd. There was no sign of them on this occasion, but surely this is just the sort of weather the Andean creatures have evolved for?

Gate across Gisburn Old Road This marks the end of the road for motor vehicles coming from Blacko direction. beyond it the road becomes just the Pennine Bridleway. The sign beyond the wall indicates that the Pendle Way that shares the last section of tarmac road turns right here over the hill towards Barnoldswick.

Raven on Weets Hill triangulation pillar It could be a crow, but compared with the size of the standard pillar it's a big bird. I'm going with raven, as they are not unknown in the Pennines. Photographed from a distance to catch it before it inevitably flew off as I approached.

Weets Hill triangulation pillar The pillar is close to the 397 metre summit of the hill, which is a good vantage point. Pendle is in the background of this view, with (I think) Longridge Fell peeking up out of the valley fog beyond.
