After High Neb across the crunchy moor a bitter easterly cold wind, an egg yoke custard blaze of Winter sun over Derbyshire a group of walkers some distance away. In the meantime relish in the fantasy of being a long past lonesome traverser. Life doesn't get better. Pint of Bradfield in Hathersage and make the train back with seconds to spare.

Nice walk along Stanage Edge ascending from Hollin Bank car park, first visiting the summit and pillar at High Neb, before returning via Stanage Pole. Although named here and on the OS maps as Stanedge, the inscription at the base of the pole states Stanage. Also the maps show the location as being a pillar, but it is a pole. Nice inscriptions around the base. Views across the Hallam Moors, along Stanage Edge, and away to Win Hill and Mam Tor.

Walked up from reservoir to the east, expecting to find a pillar, as marked with blue triangle on OS map OL1 but all I got was an old telegraph pole! Well worth a visit, only half a mile off route of last weekends Trans Pennine 100 mile challenge walk, with sweeping 360 panorama uniting west with east. Sheffield far away to east, then sweeping over Dark Peak to Kinder and Edale, with even Bradwell cement works chimney thrown in for good measure

Visited during a days hiking in the Peak District. Stanedge Pole is sited a short distance from Stanage Edge and is an historic boundary marker. It was renewed in 2016 by the Peak District National Park, local businesses and public donations. The pole is surrounded by local stone bearing numerous carved names, dates etc. Amongst them can be seen what remains of an OS CM. Good views towards Stanedge Lodge, Redmire Reservoir and beyond towards the suburbs of Sheffield.

(2189) Birchen Edge pillar was next, but road closures followed by no parking spots left to bag when I did get there, put paid to that. Stanage/Stanedge Pole has been on the 'to-do' list for some time, so happy to end the day here. Parked on Redmires Road, and then a pleasant enough walk to the trig. Initially it was just me and a chap walking his dog, but it soon got very busy. Pole easily spotted some distance away, and interesting to read up on its history. Plenty of - very - old graffiti on the surrounding rocks, along with an old pivot BM.

2/3 trigs visited on a pedal from home. Passed numerous times, but never inspected. I give it a high score because of its historical interest, on an old pack horse trading route and the graffiti in the surrounding rocks, it went on back in the 1600s. Rescued a dazed rook on the way to Burbage/Stanage, gift todays to his hopeful recovery.

Visit to the historic pole it even has a blue trig symbol on the 1:25000 OS Mapping. Situated close by an ancient trade bridal way route running from Sheffield. Found two centuries old pivot benchmarks as well. The big initials and old year dates carved into the rock were from the highways manager in the years when the huge pole was replaced the earliest recorded 1550!!!

Although I've walked along Stanage Edge on several occasions I'd never visited Standedge Pole. My intended route across the heather from Robin Hood's Cave was closed for conservation so instead made do with an out and back from Long Causeway. An unusual trig but other than that the views aren't especially striking (just the usual upland scenery). I've recorded it as damaged due to the metal clamps around the wooden pole.

Second of 3 on a circular walk from Grindleford. Lovely sunny day so the pole was very popular with muggles.

Bit confused...no trig as we know it. But as it was part of an enjoyable walk with a couple of mates Paul and Tracker Dog, no matter. Views ok all round, but press on to Stanage Edge and it gets far better. Subsequent visit 26/9/12 spotted possible benchmark carving on north facing boulder below the pole. Has this been interpreted as a trig?

Collected on the walk from the Fox House Inn to Stanage Edge – bewildered by the inclusion of Stanage Pole as a trigpoint. Came past again on 27th Oct 2011 on a walk including High Neb and Rod Moor – logged position and took a photo on this occasion in wet conditions with limited views.

It sits on a bit of plateau so views are a bit restricted. Sign from the Park Authority on the mini-fence asks you not to use the path going south (as indicated on the OS map but not as a ROW) across White Path Moss.

This can not count as a TP but makes a nice detour between High Neb and Ox Stones. Not sure exactly what this is, but nice to think it is a geographical point of some sort.

Quite an unusual trig. Although it is called Stanage Pole here, it is actually named Staneage Pole. For some reason it is spelt differently to that of Stanage Edge.

Very interesting site. Pole marks a drovers way with some of the carvings in the rock dating back hundreds of years. About 30 mtrs towards Stanage Edge, in the heather, is a hexagonal gritstone block set into the ground with carved lines joining the points. Covered with pile of stones. At first I thought it would be a geocache. ?? what is it?

Resembling a telegraph pole on a gritstone base, this is a triangulation station but theres never been a triangulation pillar here. The pole is presumably one of a succession; the metal strips are perhaps a lightning conductor and theres a rough-cut benchmark at the base. Since theres no provenance such as an OS passive station record then maybe this site doesn't really merit a distinct entry in TP:UK albeit that its of general interest. Stanedge Pole is described in the OS benchmark database as an intersected point. Typically, these seem to be church spires, chimneys and flagstaffs but a few, usually monuments, are still marked on current OS 1:25000 maps with the familiar triangulation symbol. Local examples include Cholera Gardens, just E of Sheffield railway station, Stoodley Pike, Castle Hill near Huddersfield and Wainmans Pinnacle. A few other non-pillars (for example bolts and rivets) are similarly depicted on current maps and its unclear if these are an accidental carry-over from earlier editions where the triangulation symbol was used to denote a greater diversity of stations, or if the likes of Stanedge Pole retain a special significance.

Visible for over a mile away along the edge, even today with the mist reducing visibility. Very popular spot with lots of names carved into the supporting rocks. Wooden pole surprisingly, I was expecting a cast iron one.

This one is an interesting anomaly and hence the log. On the current explorer map of the area you will see a nice blue triangle with a dot in it. On the ground is a 30ft high pole attached to the rock with remnants of a lightening conductor. I suspect this is in fact a sighting make similar to many church spires though why it is marked on the map as a pillar is an interesting question for others to understand.

Thanks to Rhayader_wanderer for his observations on Stanage (often spelled Stanedge) Pole. I've been here umpteen times (the logged date being the most recent) but had always assumed the pole was the remains of some kind of beacon!
