From the car park, retrace your steps along the minor road to the Dam of the Upper Reservoir. On the north side is a public footpath. The first part of this path is an all abilities trail and hence a great path. Follow this path alongside the conduit, continuing around the corner to Rivelin Brook and finally a small Reservoir. At this point have a look into the old building on the other side of the reservoir, sadly vandalised and ruined. Return to the dam. There is a small path on the south east side of the reservoir that goes to Oaking Plantation. From here follow the path south west alongside the wall. When at the top of this part of the moor (around 433m) the wall turns south east. Rather than following the wall, continue in a west direction along the line of the grouse butts to reach the shelter just below Stanage Edge. Walk over to Stanage Edge just south of High Neb. As you approach Stanage Edge the view opens out over Bamford Moor, the Hope Valley and along Stanage itself. Walk up to the trig point at High Neb. (5.0kms. 100m. 1hrs. 40min.)

From High Neb walk south along the path at the top of Stanage Edge taking in the vista along the edge. After about 1km the Long Causeway can be seen on the right. The edge path descends to meet this old roman road, with a short narrow section over some rocks. Follow the Long Causeway east to Stanage Pole. This version of the pole was erected in 2016 after the previous pole became rotten. From Stanage Pole there is an extensive view over the city of Sheffield and much of South Yorkshire beyond. Follow the track to descend to Redmires Reservoir and then walk around the reservoir to the car park. (4.5kms. 110m. 1hrs. 40min.)
