Parke in the official bays to the south of the pillar then walked north along the ridge. Spectacular views all along the ridge, although occasionally hidden by short sharp showers blowing through. Then headed north from the pillar to finish a glorious circular walk along the road

Visited during a 13 mile hike starting from Roach Road. The Roaches looked fantastic from the road side and we were afforded more views of the same quality as we walked to the top and along to the trig point. The pillar is in generally good condition albeit the original centre for the spider has been replaced with a plastic reproduction which now has hole in it. The foundations have been partially exposed and subsequently protected by the placement of rocks around the base.

One of my favourites. Approached from saddle to the north, where 'Mr Whippy' parks - had a 99er when I got back! ---- Route to pillar is well paved, with flagstones allegedly taken from Lancashire mills. Apparently, if you put your ear to one, you can still hear the belts slapping and the mill girls laughing! --- Pillar fine, with new work underway to reduce erosion by the 'million' visitors every year. --- Logged by Keith Stevens for HC U3A

Parked on minor road sk004621. Plenty space today but on a warm sunny day at weekend imagine the lay by will be full very quickly. A labyrinth of footpaths leads up to Doxey Pool. Easy well defined route along the ridge to pillar. Trig is perched on gritstone bedrock. Painted white, spider centre is missing. Footpath erosion, amazing rock formations and a rock climbers haven.

Parked on the road opposite Bearstone Rock. Took the public right of way / footpath up to the summit. Incredible views of Cheshire, Derbyshire, and Staffordshire. Climber, Joe Brown, first visited and climbed in The Roaches in 1947. He met Don Whillans for the first time at The Roaches in 1951. When Joe's climbing partner failed to follow him up a new route, known subsequently as the "Matinee", Don asked if he could try and he led the second pitch. So began one of the greatest climbing partnerships in history. Whillans died at the age of just 52 in 1985 from a heart attack. The Don Whillans Memorial Hut (aka Rockhall Cottage) at The Roaches was named in his honour.

Along the top of the edge from Hen Cloud. Good views. What I assume to be the nice original trig mark in nearby rock.

Visited many times after climbing here - classic walk route including Hen Cloud from free (busy) roadside parking to south west. Never before spotted the huge trig cut mark on boulder next to the modern trig pillar. Superb views.

It would be a crying shame not spend a day exploring the Roaches. It is a wonderful area and probably the nearest gritstone escarpment to the Midlands. It is a "honey pot", but go after 5pm in the evening and you may be the only one on the ridge. Gifted to letters that come through your letterbox and it certainly makes your day. The time to write, stick a stamp on and walk to the post box makes it so special to receive.

Can't be many more "long 'ens" to do in The Peak District for me! The joy on retirement - being able to park at the Roaches on a sunny day. Made the mistake of taking the Hen Clouds path first, before realising this is up and down for no reason. Little sign of climbers on here. Congratulations I guess for leaving the birdies alone. Second attempt started with a bit of a quogmire, but a little better on the top. Still few climbers. Fewer still wallabies. (None!) Pillar one of those ones you can see from a distance, and refuses to get any nearer! Nearer caught by sunset, but put on a spurt and managed the lovely Lazy Trout in due course.

My first time on ‘The Roaches’ but I don’t think it will be my last. There’s room to park just north of the cattle grid at the bend in the road, north west of the pillar. From there it’s an easy climb up to the trig point along a paved path for the most part. The ‘ground’ around the base of the pillar looks to have been eroded away but I’d be surprised if there ever was enough soil up there for the base to have been covered. It was probably built that way. The pillar is painted white and in good condition, apart from the missing centre plug. At a recorded 1685ft above sea level, this is the highest trigpoint of my 2 day sortie into the West Midlands. The views are spectacular… or would be if it weren’t so hazy. Interestingly, there is a large benchmark arrow incised into a boulder close to the pillar. Evidence of an earlier triangulation, maybe?

Great trig for a day out. Close to Doxey Pool. Lots of parking on road below Five Clouds, but can get quite busy. Alternative parking at Roach End (closer to trig) Superb 360 views, Tittesworth Reservoir and The Cloud visible. Trig in good condition, worn concrete base. Looks like a recent coat of paint.

Howling wind and snow just starting to fall didn't detract from the great views and then up to Lud's Church for the "Wow!" factor. Pillar itself seemed to be in good condition, plastic plug intact, some paint and no major damage, plinth is a little eroded, but no worse than many other "good condition" trigs IMHO.

I'd hired out Gradbach Youth Hostel for our traditional January trip for 60 of us. A group of 13 of us walked up from the hostel on this fine and sunny day, but only me took a photo of the flush bracket!

I like the Roaches. This is one of at least a dozen visits. I've seen a Wallaby once! (they escaped 40 years ago from a private zoo nearby). Went round in a loop and got 'Gun' as well. Pillar is OK. Public

Not a Wallaby in sight!

We did Valkyrie. It was ace. Then got sandbagged into something called the Pincer (its soft VS he says.....) no its not. Took a wee huff for a bit, and strolled over to the trig point for a fag and also to think up a suitable revenge for my intended victim ;-)

Visited the trig point on a circular walk from Leek. The Roaches are beautiful, even in the winter sunshine. A footpath runs right past the pillar, which is at the southern end of the hill ridge.
