With Finn from Derwent ResevoirWhiteFeather01/10/2023
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.Alfa1M16/08/2023
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.meltdiceburg13/05/2023

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_alan07/12/2022
