Visited during an 11 mile hike from the Flouch Car Park. My route took me accross the bridge at Langsett Reservoir and then Cut Gate before turning left at the cairn to reach Margery Hill and then High Stones - South Yorkshires highest point and county top. Both peaks are registered as Peak District Ethels. Great snow scenes.

Visited after dark. It had been unseasonably warm February day and it was still very pleasant. I'm sure the daytime views are very nice, points of interest at night are lights on Holme Moss and Emley Moor masts, orange glows of distant cities, a couple of aeroplanes over Manchester and the lights of mountain biker ascending Cut Gate.

Solo walk, been to this trig several times but forgot to log it. Years ago while practicing compass work it was no problem traipsing the moors; in recent times it's a case of wandering off bearing...but got there in the end. Thankfully the peat is quite dry and the trig is now bright white (thanks to the painter) so is easily spotted. The views were great all round. On to Outer Edge trig.

A crazy idea for a day out! I'd previously dismissed visiting this and Outer Edge as too much cycling and walking for one day from home, but decided to attempt it. A good tail wind blew me through the lanes to Ashbourne, then the Tissington Trail to Parsley Hay, Monyash, Taddington, Tideswell, Bradwell, Bamford and up the lane alongside the Derwent Dams. Arrived at the pack horse bridge with 60 miles done and had lunch. A lovely sunny day and lots of folk out and about. Left the bike and walked up Cut Gate standing aside for several descending mountain bikers. Turned right and across moor to Margery Hill. Dry enough, with care, to keep feet dry in cycling shoes.

Walked up from Fairholmes using cycle/walking track on the East bank of Derwent Reservoir, took the path to Nether Hey and then out onto Howden Edge. Good path heading North to Margery Hill TP. Brilliant days walking made the more interesting for observing a number of different military aircraft flying down the valley, eagerly awaiting the Lancaster, unfortunately not on this occasion. Excellent day for visibility and this has to rate high on my Trig Pillars for views.

Excellent views from the trig, very blowy on the top. Seems in good order despite the corner being not quite what it should.

Pathfinder Guides - Peak District Walks (2009): Margery Hill. Uneventful stroll from Fairholmes alongside Derwent and Howden Reservoirs to Slippery Stones. Howden Reservoir was in overflow but views were restricted due to trees. There followed a more scenic climb across the spur separating Cranberry and Bull Cloughs to reach Howden Edge. Ground nowhere near as wet as I'd anticipated given the amount of rain we have had this summer. Bleak but far-reaching views from the trig. Looks like top layer of concrete (or possibly many layers of white paint) has eroded from one top corner hence recorded as slightly damaged (see photo). Nearby Margery stones add interest. Continued South along the edge to High Stones from where the pillars at Outer Edge, Margery Hill and Back Tor were all visible. Eventually descended to Cogman Clough then headed SW across Nether Hey before finally picking up the main reservoir service track back to Fairholmes.

I've been dreading this trip. Well, this and Outer Edge, qv. Long and uneventful walk up from the Flouch car park and Cut Gate but then as we leave the bikers behind, the path disappears into bog. Pillar too far from the edge for really great views, but the prehistoric mound may become interesting. On to Outer Edge. It gets worse!

Very warm today and hardly any wind either. Luckily continuing dry weather make for easy walking - I'm not sure how much fun it would be on the peat if it was very wet. Ascended from Fairholmes via east side of reservoirs and Howden Clough before climbing direct to the end of Howden Edge to conquer South Yorkshire's summit and then heading North to the trig point. Returned to Kings Tree via Cut Gate & Slippery Stones(watch out for descending mountain bikers) to pick up the useful bus ride back to Fairholmes.

Walked up from Langsett carpark via Mickelden Edge and Cut Gate with my fellow trigpointer CURRYSCRIM. Very low water levels in Langsett Reservoir and dry conditions underfoot. Good view from a very isolated position. Continued to Outer Edge and the aircraft wreck sites. Returned down Cut Gate and the north of Langsett.

Quite a plod from Langsett, mostly dry underfoot until the summit area which was very boggy, with the trig and a few boulders. Continuation to Outer Edge especially boggy. Previously done 03/09/06 from King's Tree on a dreary wet day.

I re-visited this pillar on 01 Aug 2006 after several earlier visits, the most recent being in Feb 2001. I found it much as I remember it, in good condition with very little erosion around because it stands on a small outcrop of rock. One new thing is a fenced-off area about 200 yards to the West of the pillar with a notice erected by the National Trust saying that the enclosed area has been identified as a Bronze Age burial mound and requesting walkers to keep out of the fenced area.
