Overview

Fairholmes - Nether Hay - Margery Hill - Outer Edge - Slippery Stones - Fairholmes

 

A walk over open moorland on paths/tracks little used including one sizeable ascent up onto Howden Edge. Starts and finishes down the same track along Derwent Reservoir. Paths away from the reservoir track are likely to be very wet and muddy. However, weather permitting, the views will be extensive once we get up onto the edges.
