Hind Low after parking just of the B5053 at track junction to the WSW Brierlow Quarry. Then used track to bag Dow Low [Brier Low].

Destroyed. Was on the site of Hillhead Quarry, which is now owned by Tarmac, and which hosts regular quarrying, construction & recycling exhibitions.

1/2 visited on an evening pedal from home. The trig would have overlooked Hillhead quarry. This is now the site of an international bi annual quarry/mining exhibition. It brings people from all over the world for a week in June. I gift todays non existent trigs to bikes, come a full circle and my chosen form of transport/hobby any day.

Got to the gate and saw the Blasting Sign and Danger of Death - Destroyed is good enough for me.

That's near enough for me!

More interesting than Brier Low, as only half the hill is quarried (Hillhead quarry). Leaving the public footpath, what's left can be ascended to the perimeter fence, giving some idea of what the approach to the trig must have been like. The pillar itself must have stood not far beyond the now farthest point. There are good views of the remaining hill from the bridleway to the west.

You have been warned! The top of Hind Low today.

Walked from Longnor over Parkhouse and Chrome Hills. I’d seen these hills when I visited Hollinsclough Moor and Axe Edge last week. I thought I knew the Peak District but they were new to me – I looked at the maps and couldn’t see any footpaths but they were open access so I put them into a route with Hind Low and High Wheeldon. I was very impressed – they certainly are the Peak Districts answer to Striding Edge. They are both very steep with a bit of exposure and scrambling (well for me). I was a great spring day but the conditions were very slippery in places I’d fallen over twice in the first 15 minutes – the ground was hard with frost with a covering of thawed mud. Anything good to say about Hind Low – good views looking away from the quarry. Nearest position SK0809368944 within 52ft.

You have to admire em somehow. Such a huge chasm, but totally invisible (before Google Earth!). And just think, in a few years time this is where all the iPhone 4s will be. Same lazy hop as Brier Low. Didnt quite make the obvious, and impressive, high spot as I figured a missing Trig Point isnt worth a multiple battle with barbed wire. Ive got a new car donchaknow!

no TP (+not on OSLR, gr of 08086896 is just inside mapped extent of quarry) - doubtless quarried. fb S4149 (OS) - TP was 449m @ SK 0808 6896 i.e. 20m N of current quarry edge, fine rocky limest summit rather spoiled by quarry, fine view S, likely rise c.2m above 445co
