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 |

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 |
