Re: Path #27
Hi There,
I believe we have resolved these stones quite a few years ago by referring to an old set of early edition of country side map published by the Government. That map has the numbered foot paths all over it, especially for paths surrounding the Peak.
There is a concentration of these markers in the Aberdeen Resevoir area, however. There is one close to Mount Kellet up in Peel Rise near the Wing On Estate. I could not recall seeing these markers anywhere else.

If you look at the comments on page https://gwulo.com/node/4020, there's more information about this type of marker stone, and details of the map that Thomas mentions.
Re: Path #27
Thanks Thmoas and David for the info about the marker stone :)
Re: Older photos of the stones around Aberdeen Reservoir area
Hi There,
Look's like it's time to take some photos of the stones again as some of the links I poasted back then no longer works.
Might take a while.
