SK227843 Exit the car park taking the track northerly towards Stanage Edge past a green barrier. Pass two small plantations right and curve right with the track. Follow the rising track (with a fence left) to pass under the rocks of Stanage Edge (left). Continue rising under rock outcrops on the track and when they end, reach a path cutting back left. Take this following the path to cross a stile in a fence. Next, dip then rise and follow the path along Stanage Edge to reach the trig point on High Neb.
SK228853 Continue ahead on the edge path descending and curving right gradually. Descend past a cairn and continue along the edge past a ruined building (right). Follow the path past a quarry. Shortly after, go left at a path junction going down through quarry ruins. Cut left at a path junction a bit further on passing a standing stone to reach another path junction after the quarry. Go left passing below the quarry following a path below outcrops. Just before a large slab left reach a path junction. Go right downhill. Go left at the next junction, continuing to just before a wall up left to reach a path junction right. Go right downhill towards Jarvis Clough. Descend through boulders following the path past shooting butts and posts left. After the last post continue to a track junction. Go left beside Jarvis Clough. Curve right around the clough head below a building. SK216861 Continue ahead on a rising track to follow an old wall soon curving left. Walk up the moor, passing fenced-off shafts staying ahead at all times. As the path narrows continue along it as it turns into a better track through heather. At a fork stay ahead, following the again narrowing path through heather to cross a track and dip over a very marshy area. Continue following the vague path by marsh grass in a small groove. If needed, use GPS point SK209860 to reach a stone pillar.
From the pillar go left on a path-cum-sheep track towards the left of two tracks ahead. At the head of a clough go left on a path. Climb past a shooting butt on the left track you were aiming for. Rise to join a path at a junction. Go left rising to a wall corner. Continue up the side of the wall. As the path fades go right through a section of the wall that is broken. Take a path half-left, curving left as you join another path. Follow the rising path over an old wall. Continue along Bamford Edge. Further on, at a marker post (‘No Dogs’) bear left, rising to a path junction and shooting butt. Go left to the summit of Bamford Moor. Retrace your steps to the shooting butt, going ahead on the edge path. Then descend to cross
a stile to a road. SK215839 Go left, along the lane to a junction. Then turn left back to the car park.
