Completing Stage 6 of the GM Ringway the trig point is just a short detour off the route. It was in good condition and looked like it had recently been whitewashed. Also nearby is the Mellor Cross, particularly appropriate at present. Views from the trig point were fantastic on a lovely afternoon.

Access via metal gate along Black Lane. A fine pillar, never visited despite orienteering in this wonderful area. Anyone interested in local history should look up mill owner Samual Oldknow, who shaped Marple and Mellor. The novel " The Railway Children" was based on this area. Edith Nesbitt stayed here often. Peak and Northern Footpath Society will be gifted Cobden Edge and passed 4 signs to arrive here from Marple Ridge pillar.

Walked up past the cross (a 'T' actually, but locals call it a cross for some reason). Pillar sits at edge of heather moorland. Original top cap is retained, raised lettering; rear and RHS sight holes open. 360deg panorama.

What a lovely surprise - been past so many times without even seeing the trig peeping into sight as you head from Strines over the top and towards Derbyshire. Excellent ramble - not a logical route but a gem of an area, towards Rowarth then a figure 8 back to the top (joint with the Picking Rods) of Stockport UA. Kinder looking beautifully wild with the long turbined hills of the north west one side and the beautiful Derbyshire synclines to the south.

On the way to finishing off bagging the last few trigs on OS Map OL 1, Dark Peak, and what a surprise this one has been. Out walking with my mates, Tracker Dog, Rubber Ball and Mick, starting from New Mills then W along the ridge to get to the trig, and the views just got better and better, of Manchester, the Cheshire Plain and Pennines. Magic. So much so we relaxed for a tea break to soak up the view of the W edge of Kinder. Some weather monitoring equipment was there as well as the stones laid in a strange oval shape as mentioned by 'gushoneybun' (love the name) in a previous log. Down to Marple and a stroll down the Peak Forest Canal to New Mills. A great day.

The recent unseasonal heavy snow affecting Northern England cut short my plans to visit a few more pillars in the area so this one was my lot for the day. I locked my bicycle at the corner of Gibb Lane and then proceeded uphill on foot. I turned left onto Black Lane (Track), where the vicious sub zero easterly wind soon had me blinded with spindrift. In one place there was a five foot snow bank off to the side. This time last year it was shorts and t-shirt weather up in the Highlands! I climbed the gate into the next field and then stepped over the electric(?) fence to access the trig. Unsurprisingly, I didn't hang around the pillar for any length of time, before scurrying off down to Stockport train station, where a bleak, two hour long journey back home awaited.

Followed this to Mellor Road where I picked up another restricted byway around the southern edge of a nature reserve and across to the pillar. Pillar itself sits on a slight mound which is almost completely surrounded by a shallow ditch filled with small rocks. Good views East back over to Kinder. Urban views over Manchester to the West.

Short walk from new metal gate on Black Lane through the heather. Trig is surrounded by a stone moat. Bagged on a linear walk between Marple Bridge and New Mills.

Easily accessible and highly visible. Even though on private land access is relatively straight forward there are paths that lead directly to it from the wooden cross on the hillside. Quarry and a couple of broken down fences to negotiate. Pillar is in excellent condition, the plug is intact and has raised lettering. Extensive views from this elevated vantage point

Approached from track to north, over wall and fence then across rough heather to trig point. Excellent views over Manchester and beyond.

Fairly simple to find, just off the bridleway in a field. Mind the electric fence!

Another Clem. Middle of a small patch of moorland. Wimberries are great this year. Good views of Manchester and an altogether good place. Intact.

I wasn't expecting much from this trig, but it turned out to be a little gem. There are views all round, with the western Peak District hills to the East and Manchester & the Cheshire Plain to the West. There is also a huge cross nearby overlooking Manchester.

Nice area, trig in rough patch of uncultivated ground in, otherwise, open fields. Could not find any reference on the map to 'Cobden Edge' so why it's called that is not clear
