Not my first time at the Bleaklow crash site, but it is the trig, so I’m very happy to tick this one off. Parked in the layby on the 57 just should have Glossop and straightforward hike to the trig point and crash site.

Didn't know which trig to do after work today so just picked this at random from the map. Parked in the layby for the Pennine Way, followed this until i found some sheep trails heading in the right direction and then found the B2 crash site which i had no clue was there (I didn't read the logs before hand). Returned via foot / sheep paths to the Pennine Way. Thick low lying cloud and torrential rain all the way there and back.

The second of three Trigs found on a circular moorland run from Glossop - with the snow progressively worsening. The Higher Shelfstones Trig is in a prominent position and in clearer weather the views must be epic.

Parked in a lay-by on the A57 at the Snake Pass. Took the public right of way (PRoW) from there up to Hern Clough, at which point, took the footpath that runs west from there up to the pillar. Passed the Bleaklow plane crash site, which is very close to the pillar, along the way. The crash involved a Boeing RB-29A Superfortress, which came down on the 3rd November 1948, killing all 13 on board

When considered with the surrounding area this is a pillar that has pretty much got it all. I visited it as part of an 11 mile hike starting at Torside Reservoir via Torside Clough to Bleaklow Head and Higher Shelf Stones. Great views at all stages of the hike including those from the pillar. We visited the nearby crash site before continuing on to the pillar which is in good condition though the centre of the spider has been filled with concrete or similar.

Traipsed through the mire to get to the trig, first finding the aircraft crash site. Took in the great views and old graffiti before heading back on the proper path.

Revisit to one of the best trigs in the Peak. Morning visit after an absolute classic of a wild camp up at the Wain Stones. Nobody about at this fairly early hour. Dropped down to Doctor's Gate BW for the walkout to Glossop. Having more or less perfected the trig point lean, I decided to work on my squat. It's had a lick of paint since I was last up and looks very smart.

One of my favourite trigs in the Peak District and visited it many times on various running/navigation events. A much nicer out or back from the A57 is via Crooked Clough. At Old Woman go W and before hitting the fence line and gate go right on a superb path which stays above the Clough before taking you directly to the trig and a Nuttall (612m). Nearby is the Superfortress "Over Exposed" which crashed on 3.11.1948 killing all 13 crew. A monstrous amount of debris remains and worth visiting the site. Adjacent the trig are 3 rocks with graffiti dating back to 1871. This trig is gifted to whippets which are having a revival "Up North" or is it me?

Hard effort to get up the hill from Glossap (running) well worth it for the trig and views. The B29 wreck was a moving memorial, strange atmosphere around the wreckage. Not much left of the Lancaster wreckage the other side of the hill.

From Cock Hill pillar on a bearing of 050 to a small cairn at the 481m spot height where an Emirates A380 passed overhead on its approach into Manchester. I then turned N, soon intersecting with the Pennine Way above Torside Clough where I was treated to spectacular views across the reservoir and on to Black Hill. Followed the Pennine Way beside Torside Clough round to Bleaklow Head and The Wain Stones. God it's bleak up there but it's not a bad place to be when the sun is out and it's dry underfoot. From the Wain Stones I headed directly across the peat on a bearing of *** to the pillar at Higher Shelfstones. After the featureless peat hags and groughs of Bleaklow you are suddenly rewarded with dramatic views along Doctors Gate and beyond. Trig ever so slightly damaged on two corners (outer layer of plaster worn away - see photos) and cap replaced with tarmac. Descended across the western flank of Gathering Hill where I saw a few mountain hares. Crossed the brook just west of Urchin Clough then climbed to meet Doctors Gate, following this all the way back to Old Glossop.

Parked at the top of Snake Pass, walked along the Pennine Way to Bleaklow Head before cutting across via Hern Stones to the trig. A lovely walk and the trigs position is just great. Amazing views as the sun started to sink and wonderful light. The heat and light breeze made it a wonderful place to sit for an hour. I was going to stay for the proper sunset, but I had no torch and walking over the peat wasn’t going to be fun in the dark. Got back to the car with 20 mins light left. A fantastic day!

I started the day with an early morning walk over Bleaklow, having stayed the night in the shooting cabin on Ronksley Moor. The views from there were extensive and I could see far into Yorkshire. The conditions were just as favourable at the Higher Shelfstones trig too as Britain was experiencing a mini heat wave in early April. I descended into Glossow, on my way towards the Werneth Low trig pillar.

Was with my son for our first big hike together, primarily to show him the Superfortress wreck site and the trig for me, a repeat visit. Got to the site by the easier route of following the Pennine Way north from the A57 for 2km the heading west for 1km (about) then 5 mins south to the trig. I give it 10 for the historical value and tremendous views; I must admire the people who chose the trig sites and those who built them. The Glossop route suggested earlier sounds good. I've been visiting the wreck for a number of years and it's sad to see fewer remains as souvenir hunters hack off bits so desecrating a protected site and hence speed up nature's erosion...

Asphalt plug. Public. Access Land. Peak District National Park. From Old Glossop, proceed along Doctor's Gate path to White Clough, then ascend directly to the trig. This is very steep & hard work, & scrambly higher up, but a thrilling route. The stones themselves, above the 2000 ft contour, provide a tremendous location for the pillar. Reputedly the best viewpoint on Bleaklow.

The perfect couple of hours out. Up over Yellow Slacks with the rain coming to an end. A hopeful wander amongst the groughs before stumbling across the pillar. (How does that happen?) Then across the little used far edge of Crooked Clough before the downhill delights of Doctors's Gate. Now, I'm not a conspirasy theorist, but my car clocked 100,000 miles and I meet Winker Whetton at the top of Doctor's Gate on the same day. Coincidence?

Walked along the Pennine Way from the A57, then turned off before reaching Bleaklow Head and struck across the boggy terrain. Sapping final ascent, but totally worthwhile!

The rocks in the picture give the wrong impression of this place – it is very boggy if approaching from the north. That said, the mist had lifted to leave a beautiful sunny day with great views. The graffiti on the rocks under the trig is said to be from the early 19th century. Painted white but only on the east and west sides. Concrete plug. There was a spider on the spider! Things got better still later – Wales won the Grand Slam!
