In Which Myriad? I&#039;ve wanted to visit this spot for a while. It&#039;s where the four Myriads SD, SE, SJ and SK meet. Several people have obviously been here before as there&#039;s a geocache here. We signed the visitor book in the box - the last person to have visited it before us today was on 31st. July 2021! Pedantically, according to my GPS, the box position was about a metre too far north, but we left it where we found it! — In Which Myriad? Credit: Andy Beecroft

In Which Myriad?

I've wanted to visit this spot for a while. It's where the four Myriads SD, SE, SJ and SK meet. Several people have obviously been here before as there's a geocache here. We signed the visitor book in the box - the last person to have visited it before us today was on 31st. July 2021! Pedantically, according to my GPS, the box position was about a metre too far north, but we left it where we found it!

SE from its South West Extremity

The photo was taken just a couple of metres away from the SD, SE, SJ & SK intersection. The meeting of the myriads had a geocache box in it and we signed the visitors' record book to prove we'd been there! According to my GPS, the box was a metre too far north on my 21 satellite fix, but of course, that doesn't really matter! Luckily, the intersection was accessible as, just to the east of here, was a new and substantial wire fence with double barbed wire on its top which would have been impossible to climb over! There was evidence of a former fence as its burnt wooden posts were still in situ - presumably from a moorland fire.

Taken just a metre into SD's extreme SE corner. Not a particularly interesting feature, but an achievement to get here!!

Looking down on Dovestones Reservoir, Greenfield, from Slack Head Brow, Alphin Pike, east of Mossley. The nearby cairn on the summit of Alphin Pike is 469 metres above sea level. To the north and north-east the ground drops away steeply into Greenfield and Chew Valley.

Wimberry Stones

Wimberry Stones from Wimberry Moss, near Greenfield. The stones are known as "Indian's Head" because, when seen on the skyline from the valley below, they resemble the profile of a "red indian chief" when you turn your head to one side. See SE0102 : Indian's Head above Greenfield In August 1949 a Dakota DC-3 crashed here at Wimberry Stones killing 21 of the 29 passengers & crew on board, including the pilot Capt. Frank Pinkerton, a wartime Lancaster pilot.
