Running out of daylight, so I was relieved there was space to park near Weets House. From there it was a short hop to the top. There was a golden glow to the west and a double escarpment profile of Pendle Hill and I assume Burn Moor. In other directions the moorland fell away sharply to sunset enhanced vivid green fields. From my vantage point the Barnoldswick area looked like the promised land! A lovely spot to return to on a blue sky day.

What a glorious hill, long been on the list to do - identifiable from it's crowd of pine trees, the panorama of North Yorkshire, Pendle bounding into view with the West Pennine beyond. Started from near PWB to north then dipped to Barnoldswick before missing (alas) "the Heads". Excuse to come back...

There is a bolt type trig point in the wall by the bridleway sign too. and we passed sculptures of Greek Gods outside a house on the way back! Like you do! 5 Mile round trip. Great views of Pendle Hill and down into Barnoldswick!

Revisit on way back from work had some gear leftover from a job so gave the trig a revamp.People talking again whilst painting many questions seemed to take more paint this one than the others a full one litre. Great views as ever from here sunny again,PS repainted fb in matt red.

Found this walk rather strange as it did not feel like climbing a hill you couldn't see the hill from the bottomwe walked Letcliff Country Park passed Bancroft mill and down folly lane, there are some fantastic head sculptures on the way up just off Folly Lane on a row of cottages they were done by a sculpturer who used to live there. At no point did i feel like i was climbing a hill very strange

Left the car just south of Star House then walked up Old Gisburn Road to Weets House where there is limited parking. Just a short walk to trig from here on lovely sunny mild November afternoon.

Not my first visit up to Weets by any means. Walked up this Sunday (with Dad) from Bancroft Mill. A bit gusty and showery but great clear views from the top. Went back down in a roundabout way to catch the last half-hour of the Bancroft Mill Engine in steam. Oh yes, the Trig Point...nearly forgot. Looking well and obviously recently painted (by Painterman). Plug missing and slightly knocked-about top.

Weets Hill Trig with Dad Dad looking towards Pendle Hill which was looking very moody this showery day...low cloud skimming its top.

Parked on the A682 near the Moorcock Inn then made my way to the column along the 'Pendle Way'. No views, very misty. Last pillar of the day followed by drinks and chips in Skipton - does life get any better than this?

A stiff climb up from Barnoldswick. Rather too hazy to get the best of the views, though I could just make out Ingleborough and Whernside in the distance.

NEW YEARS DAY and absolutely horrendous weather. Margaret, Charlie(9), Harvey(5) and I battled through torrential rain, hail and wind to bag this one. The BBC weather forecast said today was going to be gloriously sunny!!!! Look closely at the trig photo and you'll see the hailstones falling.

Visited to record FB number. The pillar was completed 28th August 1948, cost not on record. In 1951 this marker was computed for triangulation as secondary station SD96/19 the the Skipton block. flush bracket S4706 was levelled for height in 1962. This trig point was last maintained by the OS in May 1976.
