Story
One of the pleasures of visiting Barrow Stones from the Derwent is the number of possible routes . This one goes over the heights via Shepherds Meeting Stones ,then down to the river and up the hill from the convergence.
Although the wind had dropped considerably compared with the last few days , it was still a brisk 25mph on the tops , so not a day to linger long , and gloves were definitely needed. Down to Ronksley via Grinah Stones , and across to Linch Clough from the Lower Small Clough cabins .
In mist or poor visibility the grough running SW from SK 13022 97528 leads directly to the Barrow Stones .
