With Finn from Derwent Resevoir | WhiteFeather | 01/10/2023 |
First of 6 in the northern part of the Howdens, and a splendid sheltered spot for my first ever wild camp just past the summit at Margery Stones. 
A sunset and a special memory to reflect on hopefully for many years to come. | Alfa1M | 16/08/2023 |

A sunny afternoon walk from the summit of the Woodhead Pass. Hoar Stones, Outer Edge, Margery Hill and Horse Stones. From Outer Edge, it is a simple path to follow between the two trigs. This is a nice spot, also good views a bit further on from the edge. | meltdiceburg | 13/05/2023 |

Parked at the car park on the A616 north of Langsett, followed the bridleway SW to the watershed. Dropped down slightly to the Derwent valley and then followed the RoW (a delightful small green track) south until, forking off to Upper Hey, then east on another green trod up the steep escarpment to the summit of High Stones (my penultimate English Dewey). Then north along the summit ridge with a revisit to Margery Hill, before retracing the outward route to the start. A splendid crystal clear winter's day, with frost underfoot and stunning views all round. 18.5km with 570m ascent taking 5h 30m. | silverwolf_alan | 07/12/2022 |

Parked in the car park on the A616 just south of the A628 at SK 201 013. Followed Barnsley Boundary route to Hordron Road, then along it up Hordron Clough and Laund Clough - all easy going. Short pull up to Hoar Stones, then across to the impressive summit tor of Dewey Horse Stone Naze, back to Hoar Stones and then along the nice track on the ridge to the trigs at Outer Edge and Margery Hill. Back down the bridleway all the way to the car park. A splendid warm and sunny day on the Howden Edge. 21km with 500m ascent in about 5h 30m. | silveracorn_alan | 23/03/2022 |

Today we saw a huge bird in flight. A man told us it was a bearded vulture, not seen here for 140 years, which came here from the Alps by mistake. Later we saw a large number of bird-watchers in the area. | Bag For Life | 24/07/2020 |
