On an amazing spot near a cliff edge and with magnificent views. This one has taken a bit of battering, it resembles the moon in places. But white paint always makes it look a little better. I would like to dedicate this visit to my close friend Marc Melhuish who passed away 2 and a half hours after I visited this trig. He was 54 years old and had cancer. His pain and suffering is now at an end. Rest in Peace mate.

Came down S from Moss Moor trig, the views W much better by the Pennine Way, it's at the boundary of farming and moorland with the beginngs of dense urban sprawl in the distance. Again the paint is helping to protect it. Onward down to Marsden, getting lost round a reservoir on the way. Thanks to S.C. and A.H.

What a traumatic day and I was out an epic 17 hours. The last section of the Oldham Way and the most spectacular. However, it was arctic conditions on the tops and I had to crawl to get to the pillar (Pennine Way).Touched and continued to crawl and walk to get off asap. To add to the day, lost the dog on this ridge and eventually went home with an absolute corker of a black eye. Most certainly gifted to the couple at Castleshaw who found the dog. Conditions were that bad on the top, little lad decided " to do one".

Pathfinder Guides - Peak District Walks (2008): Marsden & Standedge. Been saving this one so as to coincide with the heather only to discover this was just grass moorland !! Not my most favourite scenery. Standedge is frankly pathetic when compared to those of Stanage, Baslow & Curbar. Views from the pillar are unremarkable except for those looking towards Diggle. Pillar is damaged around base and cap has been replaced with a plastic disc. Views from Pule Hill were more inspiring.

Log #14. (448m). Bagged this one while doing the Standedge Circuit, an 18km circular walk from the National Trails Try-a-Trail Pennine Way Walks Series. This one starts in Marsden and takes in 7 reservoirs. The day was fabulous, the weather, walk and views from the trig making for a very high score on this one. The trig is slightly damaged around the base. Jodrell Bank large telescope visible to the SW thru binocs - range 24 miles.

visited first on 27th so misty that I missed it, blowing a gale, raining and couldn't see a thing, fantastic up there. Had to go back Saturday when I could see :-). Trig is starting to break up along the previous reapairs at the bottom. This trig needs somebody to look after it, like they have at Moss moor.

Great views Fantastic views not reflected by the quality of my phone camera
