Parked on the side of the road at Snake Pass. Followed PW to Bleaklow Head and then wandered over several peat hags in the clag, which all seemed to be of similar heights. Cloud began to lift after Wain Stones and Hern Stones on the way to Higher Shelf Stones, such that the Kinder plateau could be seen. Pleasant path along the top of Crooked Clough back. Blustery with showers/overcast. Solo. Original plan was to approach from the north but all the laybys on the A628 had been temporarily closed. | richard69 | 12/07/2023 |

Short walk from the higher shelf stones across the boggy moorland, from here I followed the Pennie way path back to the car. Overall a lovely walk taking about 2.5 hrs. | Buckleymon | 14/11/2022 |

On own. From A57 Snake Pass summit along Pennine Way then footpaths to Higher Shelf trig point and Higher Shelf Stones - Bomber Crash Site - Bleaklow Head - Hern Clough - Alport Moor summit - Hern Clough - Pennine Way. | Beeliner | 23/05/2022 |
From Old Glossop. Rather than the Nuttals route I chose the path that skirts the edge of Dowstone Clough, which gave excellent views. Route included the crash site and Higher Shelf Stones, and return down James’ Thorn and Shelf Benches. 14km and pretty good underfoot | Rockdoctor | 18/04/2022 |
