From Glossop's High Street turn left along Manor Park Road into Old Glossop. Turn right along Shepley Street, passing the factory to the bus turning circle. Park in the road opposite the factory but take care not to park in the bus turning circle.
Shelf Stones trig point
A ~2 hour off-road run over high moorland to Higher Shelf Stones. The link below suggests a suitable route. We can do a small diversion to visit the US Air Force Superfortress bomber wreck near here where the views should be fantastic in the bright sunlight (maybe). See map below:-
