Although I'd done Silverhill in 2013, I later learnt that there's a dispute over the highest point in Nottinghamshire. The hill at Silverhill is formed from the slagheap of the former colliery, whilst nearby Newtonwood Lane is natural peak of roughly the same height. As my peak-bagging friend Mark hadn't done either, we conquered the 2 on the way back south from our Peak District weekend.
