Margery Hill & High Stones from Flouch. Is Howden Edge always windy/what's your experience up there?

- Today, Anita and I ventured up to Howden Edge to tag Margery Hill and High Stones. (High Stones is the highest Peak in South Yorkshire). We parked at Flouch Waterboard free car park near Langsett Reservoir. The hike was 11.41 miles in total. We started off in T-shirts and then I ended up in a down coat with my hood up and thermal gloves on. Not the attire I was expecting to wear in early July. It was windy, to say the least, but we got lucky with the rain. It was spitting for about 1/2hr but nothing more. We took a lunch break for a sarnie and to camel up at Margery Stones which appeared to be the only shelter from the wind in the area. This is also a favourite spot for wildcamping. I didn't record a lot of footage on this hike due to the excessive wind noise. I have hiked up Howden Edge twice now, and both times, it was very windy. It makes me wonder if Howden Edge is one of those exposed ridges in the Peak District on which it is always windy. Along the route there were also views over Howden Dam. One other way to reach High Stones is to park at Fairholmes and hike up over Derwent and Howden Dams. All in all this was a geat little hike and a thoroughly enjoyable too.
Trig 27 of 88 on the 88 Trig Point Challenge.

A very nice place to visit! this excellent scenery my friend. Thank you for taking us to this awesome place
It certainly was beautiful up there. Thank you for watching and commenting. I really appreciate it.
Sounded blustery but looked warm as well but a nice walk up to High Stones. The summit did look a bit chilly mind with that wind but it looked and sounded like it had eased off on Margery Hill. Blustery day but looked an enjoyable day, cheers Alan
Hi Alan, we started off in T-shirts but were in full winter clothing and thermal gloves at the top. That wind was whipping about us. It definitely blew the cobwebs away. Fortunately, the further you got from the edge, the less the wind impacted you, hence a nice Trig. Thank you as always for your continued support. Have a great weekend.
Beautiful views on this hike. Yep it was windy!! Lovely hike but you seemed to get all seasons in one day!
We certainly did. Started off in T-shirts and ended up in winter clothes and thermal gloves. I'm just glad the rain was only light, and we got off there relatively dry. Thank you for your continued support. I really appreciate it.
Wow Chris classic base to summit weather extremes 😳⛰️
(Even mid summer can catch you out )
Great hike both 🤠👍
Best regards Simon
It certainly was Simon. I've never started off in a T-shirt and ended in winter gear before. I was initially going to hike up in shorts. I'm glad I came prepared. Thank you for your continued support, Simon. I really appreciate it.
Looks like a good place to explore, thanks for the look around.
It certainly was a beautiful place to explore but a bit cold for July. Thank you for watching and commenting. I really appreciate it.
Nice one Chris...brought back some memories from when we did this walk...Windy, but not quite as windy as we know it can get..A great watch...
I know, our wind was legendary. 75mph. It was definitely windy this time but not the hold on for your life windy. Plus, I did it in a much faster time, too. Whether that was not having Gales or just improving slowly in my stamina. But I still chuckle when I think of that walk. I said to Anita, 'This is where Steven asked me how I was, and I just said spent' 😂 I was still walking fine with Anita, and at 2mph logged speed, I was pretty pleased. Thank you, as always, for your support, Steven.
@@chrisbentleywalkingandrambling Nice one...
Very nice vlog ✨☀️
Beautiful shearing 👍👍
Big like 👍☀️
Thank you for watching and commenting. I really appreciate it.
Beautiful place 👍🥰
It certainly is. Thank you for watching and commenting. I really appreciate it.
Hello Anita! Cracking views up there but it did sound very windy. Some lovely shots of purple heather! What a refreshing day.lovely trig point, nice to see one thats not been entirely painted white. Well done on number 52! 👍
I will pass your comment on to Anita when I see her next. Chris.
@@chrisbentleywalkingandrambling your both doing really well with those trigs! 👍
I wish Anita vlogged, too. It is always great to see their perspective on a hike. It is always fun to hike with her. Thanks again for your support.
That was a windy one , some really nice views though and looked a really nice walk , atb 👍
I did ask Anita if she was up for it, but alas, no 😂. It was very windy, David. It's not as bad as last time I was up there. Thanks as always for your continued support.
Looks like a beautiful walk 🙂
A very long, very cold one, Cara. Who would have thought that in July we would be wearing winter clothes. But it was enjoyable and great views from Howden Edge. Thank you for your continued support, Cara. I really appreciate it.
Hi Chris, looked a great trip out with clear views. Oh and people free which I can relate to. That wind sure was ferocious in places 🙂
It was beautiful up there Paul, and we only saw two other hikers the whole time, which was definitely a Brucey Bonus. It was a gale force wind last time I hiked this but I didn't think that we would be in winter clothes in July. Thanks as always for your support, Paul. I really appreciate it.
Beautiful ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for watching and commenting. I really appreciate it.
Cool area to hike in. Thanks for the video brother
It certainly is beautiful up there, Mark. Thanks for the continued support, brother.
A lovely place
It certainly was. Thank you for watching and commenting. I really appreciate it.
Enjoy your time!
It certainly was enjoyable up there, Dave. Thank you for your continued support. Have a great weekend.
@@chrisbentleywalkingandrambling my pleasure
Hi Chris! Another fun adventure with Anita and windy once again. Good thing that you had some jackets and gloves with you if it was that chilly at the top. I thought that little dog running around at Howden Dam was very cute! I would love to hike in that area someday. Have a great weekend! ~ Anita
I had looked at the mountain weather forecast before we set out, and it said 5c in 20mph wind, so I warned Anita. I was planning to go up there in shorts, but I put my thermals on at the last minute, thankfully. I always take a jacket up there as the weather is so changeable, but I didn't expect to be in full winter gear. I hadn't seen the dog and had to play it back to try and find it. 🙄 Thank you, as always, Anita, for your continued support. I hope you are having a great weekend.
@@chrisbentleywalkingandrambling We are camping out in the Black Hills of South Dakota for a week and it is lovely! I hope you are having a great week also.
@blendedtravels 🎵 So take me back to the Black Hills, the Black Hills of Dakota 🎶. Calamity Jane just popped into my mind. Hope you have a great week, Anita.
Get that wind 🤣 great walk cheers gent
Ah, you must be my new subscriber 🤔. I'm still hobbling today. Great hike, though. I really enjoyed it.
MA SHA ALLAH very nice sharing ❤Enjoyed your music "Ambling" towards the end 👍very busy with other walkers at one point
It was beautiful up there away from the crowds. Thank you for watching and commenting. I really appreciate it. New vlogs are released weekly.

It was a long hike but beautiful views. I didn't expect to be wearing winter gear in July. Thank you for watching and commenting. I really appreciate it. New vlogs are released weekly.
Beautiful but very blustery 😊
Blustery is an understatement. We started off in T-shirts and by the time we were on the Peak we were in full winter clothes. You got to love British Summer weather. 😂
موفقين أيها الأصدقاء الراءعون
Thank you for watching and commenting. I really appreciate it.
Nice one, Chris, a very blustery walk too! x
It certainly was, Rachel, but it was an exhilarating one, too. Thank you for your continued support, and I hope you are having a great weekend.
Beautiful sharing 💖

Hi Chris
OMGoodness, windy...
Your lovely wife has a sense of humor
haha.. 3:10
Great accomplishment
Thank YOU and see you next time. Ciao
Anita is my hiking companion. We hike together once a week and catch up on old times. We used to work together. Amanda, my wife, isn't keen on hiking. Yes, very windy up there but a very enjoyable hike. Thank you for your continued support.
@@chrisbentleywalkingandramblingOops Sorry about it. Certainly She is a joy to hike with.
@ms.kayak7seas that's ok. She is a lovely lady. Her husband isn't over keen on hiking either, so we make a great hiking pair. She is still on her Ethel Challenge, and I'm on the 88 Trig Point Challenge. So, I'm trying to plot out routes that help us both. Margery Hill was the only one I needed, but I couldn't let her hike all the way to High Stones on her own. She has a packed schedule, so once a week suits us both. Amanda hiked Higher Shelf Stones and also Crook Hill with me. Her first hike was Back Tor and Lost Lad. I would like Amanda to come out more often, but she isn't over keen. I hope you are having a great weekend.
@@chrisbentleywalkingandrambling Thank YOU, Chris
Great Hike Chris and Anita....you have got one up on me here my friend, I have never been to the Trig....I did some work for the Peak Park a few years ago at Langsett Barn...The work was steady but the drive everyday to Langsett along Mortimer road was a nightmare, but did get a few glimpses of wild deer on the drive....enjoyed this Chris...by the way was it windy😂...Cheers Lez.
It is a long slog up from Flouch Car Park to Howden Edge Lez. Then you have what seems like an eternity to hike to High Stones. We left Margery Hill Trig for last to give us a thing rather than a pile of stones if that makes sense. Plus, you need to be refuelled by then. I've really felt this one, still hobbling today, but it was enjoyable at the time. No Deer, not even on the horizon. It's the second time I've been up there, and both times, it's been windy, very windy. Who would have thought that in July, I'd be hiking in Autumn clothing. Thank you as always Lez for your continued support I really appreciate it.
@@chrisbentleywalkingandrambling You are most welcome Chris.
Nice one Chris 👍 👌
Thanks Gavin. 👍
Looked like variable weather for you both to reach your Howden Edge to tag Margery Hill. Some lovely scenery though from high up. You seem to face frequent winds to battle against on some of your walks. All part of hiking out in the wilds !! Quite an adventure to view.
Shanita, this was a long, long stoney path to get to Howden Edge. It is just one of those places with no shortcuts. If you come up from Fairholmes, it is more spectacular, but the hike is steeper, longer, and I have to think about that with my arthritis. It was certainly strange starting off in T-shirts and ending in full winter gear in July, that's for certain. But all in all, it is a very enjoyable hike. The winds were definitely against us, but at least it kept the flies away. Thank you as always for watching, commenting, and for your continued support. I really do appreciate it. I hope you are having a great week.
Great hike. Looked really windy once you got up out of the forested area. Pretty views from up there.
It certainly was. Started off in a short sleeve shirt and ended in winter clothing. Buy it was a great hike with beautiful views. Thank you for your continued support.
That looked like a great hike!
It was certainly a great hike. You wouldn't think in July you would hike in winter clothes with thermal gloves. It is a good job. I read the mountain weather forecast before we set out, or I'd be in shorts. Thank you for your continued support.
Was a windy one Chris , thought you might have gone for a dip in that pool at the end.....lol...
If it was warmer, I'd have gone in. My feet are still aching. Thank you for your continued support.
Tidy mate, love that area. Camped very close to 2 of the locations you showed in the video 😊
You wild camped behind Margery Stones if I'm not mistaken Dan. Can't remember the other spot. 🤔🙄🤔 Thank you for your continued support Dan.
High Stones is too exposed...... isn't it? 🤔
@chrisbentleywalkingandrambling as you were looking at the cascading water the area behind that up the river is Swinden Bottom, I camped a little up the river 👍
@chrisbentleywalkingandrambling if I had the Allak2 (my fortress) I'd certainly camp at High Stones no problem 😊
It is beautiful up there but bloody windy. You ever had it calm?
A very nice place to visit.
It certainly was beautiful up there if it was a bit cold for July. Thank you for watching and commenting. I really appreciate it. Have a great week.

welcome back anita (yay for her 52nd on the ethel)! nice to see your hiking partner back in action with you. huge hike this week, chris, kudos! and holy cow the wind!!! i feel like at least one of my british campers i enjoy has camped at margery stones. how long did you watch the dam? i probably would have stared for a while after that hike. 👍
🛴❤
The Dam was quite a bit away, sadly. 11.41 miles is the shortest route to here. If we had come up via the Dam, it would have been prettier but also a 14 mile hike. This was two days ago, and I'm still aching 😂. I think new hiking shoes with padded insoles are needed. I really like hiking with Anita. We've known each other for about 10 years now, and seeing her once a week or so (depending on her schedule) makes for a really enjoyable hike. We have the same sense of humour, too, so get on well. After she completes her 95 Ethels, I hope to continue hiking with her. I wish Amanda would come, but hiking doesn't get her fired up like me. I know Dan Cunningham has wild camped at Margery Stones near the Trig before. I don't know if you follow him. But yes, it is a very enjoyable but exhausting hike. Who would have thought that we would be in winter clothes in July!!! I'm sitting in the car typing this, and today it's 27c. Madness. Thank you as always for your continued support.
@@chrisbentleywalkingandrambling crazy how altitude and wind can affect the temps. hide the sun behind a cloud every now and again and winter clothes it is. i carry a buff with me all seasons in my backpack and it is so helpful when i need a bit of warmth or sun protection (i have different ones for different seasons, my wool one gets quite a workout!). hope the car wasn't moving while typing. lol!
Great place to getaway +1
It certainly was a great place to get away. We only saw two other people on this hike. Thank you for watching and commenting. I really appreciate it.
Man that looks like my kinda place! Im going hack packing on the 18th of this month but i cant decide for the life of me where to go. I think Pembrokeshire and just wing it. Buttemere would have been moce but a hell of a drive
Wherever you decide to go I'm sure you will have a fantastic time. Thanks as always for your continued support.

Blimey Chris, surprised you didn't get blown off the hill 😂 when did you do this walk? Surely a while ago if you were wearing gloves!
It was yesterday, Matt 5th July. T-shirt at the car park then full winter gear by the time we were on Howden Edge. I'm just glad I didn't go up in my shorts. To be honest, the mountain weather forecast said 5c in wind. It seemed colder than that. But yes, winter clothes on a summer hike, strange. Thank you as always for your continued support, Matt.
