5th of 13 Tumps on a circular drive from Kilnhurst. Parked at the north end of Mucky Lane and followed rights of way, though the final few yards required a fence climb and a spot of hiding from a farmer.Mark Jackson01/08/2022

Did a circuit of the water board feature and trust this counts!Neil Midgley08/03/2020
Walked from Whitwell Moor, down through Oxley Park with Alfie. Direct descent down to Stocksbridge over the main road, then pleasant walk back along the old railway tack and uphill by green lanes to the van.Dangerous Dave19/11/2019

Parked to the NE by electricity sub-station SK264999. Construction started on new house/water board building near summit.David Evans10/02/2019
Due diligence was almost missed on this one, having gone to the trig on the dark and thinking it wax the tump summit too. Checked while looking down on the lights of Stocksbridge. This is 8 metres higher and almost a kilometre west. Interesting reservoir building on top not like anything else I've seen. Brick walls interspersed with pillars. I had to walk round again and could them. It came to the delicious perfect number 28. So surprised and delighted had to go back round the other way a third time just to check.vegibagger05/01/2019
2 of 5 on 25.6 mile bike ride including hartcliff hill, briery busk, hunger hill, hoyland hill and pool hill. Easier ride than my other recent jauntsThe-Z-Man08/09/2018
From Hunshelf Hall Lane. HP has a 1905 castellated reservoir built upon it. Wandered around it; the open water inside the walls can be glimpsed from the poorly fitting access door.jonglew25/01/2018
via Whitwell Moor and Reservoir Dam and Mucky Lane. Fenced off enclosure contains castellated water but highest natural point is equal to outside of enclosure, so that did for me.IanHHill11/01/2018
From the north up the farmtrack. Unusual water tank with lots of noise from the inside.Campbell Singer13/11/2017

as for citigentarranc29/03/2017
Very wet today but the horses are ok now i have closed the gate after someone opened it passing past the NO Entry sign, its also a health and safety sign to keep people safe as there are site hazards. be sensible or just don't go here!!!myhillnotyours05/03/2017
5th and final hill of the day with Lexi Rue, my partner's Labradoodle. Starting at Moscar Lodge, we climbed Lodge Moor, Edgemount, Wharncliffe chase and Whitwell Moor. We climbed upto the access land via footpaths and followed the ridge to the reservoir. This looks mysterious . We continued in to finish in a bedraggled state at the edge of Penistone. We caught a bus to Dodworth. where we stayed at the Ibis Styles hotel. Hartcliff hill was the hilll planned but not completed today.Dazingdale25/06/2016
Parked on Hunshelf Hall Lane then walked up track and round to steps towards reservoir with Smudge.Dugswell202/04/2016
With Dugswell. New construction seems to be in progress just SW of the reservoir which was gained via steps & fence hop past a No Public Access notice.Smudge02/04/2016
Headed up onto Hunshelf Bank to the E at Old Park House, then followed the path on the left of the wall/fence to the beacon, then onto the trig, then finally to the covered reservoir. Quick slip between wires in the fence allowed access.Wheelsy30/03/2016
a walk around Briery Busk, Whitwell Moor and a look at Walders Lowjoseph mitchell22/02/2016
Yes, nice and easy from the north via Nine Acre LaneMark Sims08/01/2016
Parked at the wrong layby on the A616. However, there was a cafe there which made up for it. A rather circuitous walk to the summit which took 3 times as long as parking at the north would have done. Don't make my mistake!moorsman15/12/2015
Made in Sheffield. This industrial era summit reservoir is perched high above Stocksbridge and its dominating steel works which, from initially making umbrella stays began making steel in 1860 when Samuel Fox installed 48 crucibles. It soon supplied products such as rails, springs, steel tyres and axles to nearly every railway company around the world. Today it is owned by Tata and specialises in the production of high grade and special steels. All of the steel produced is made from recycled steel.Chris Pearson13/08/2015
