Carbagging on a wet Saturday before football at Ossett United | Longwojo | 03/10/2020 |
I'm 'doing' all the Beacons - these are normally easy to access (someone had to get the fuel up there and be ready to light the fire) and with excellent views (you want you beacon to be seen) - first remains true to this beacon, second - not so with housing development and tree growth. The summit house is for sale. | M3WDD | 17/08/2020 |
A quick jaunt up from the B6474 (Beaconsfield Road) as the storm clouds gather and the wind picks up (fabulous Water Tower). | briandavies | 05/07/2020 |
More like being in the south, round here. | Wycombe Wanderer | 17/05/2020 |

Easy parking at summit. | David Evans | 09/09/2019 |
Walked from Moorthorpe Rail station via North Elmsall and Upton, past the Upton Miners Memorial; afterwards via Badsworth to Fitzwilliam for train home. This completes Wakefield Tumps and all of West Yorkshire. PS well done to the Z-man. Not so impressed with those who drove to the top!!- What's the point? | IanHHill | 27/12/2017 |

Drove up Beacon Hill where there is a large parking area. Summit appears to be thereabouts. Nice house at the top. Even better water tower. | Campbell Singer | 02/11/2017 |
Great view today. Ideal conditions. | Moorponder | 13/08/2017 |

1st hill of four today (all Three tumps in Wakefield plus 1 in Leeds U/a). Train from Nottingham to Sheffield and then to Moorthorpe station, walking across to Upto accessing area from main road. I really like the Water tower. Agree with ground beside wall. Summit area extends into back garden. I explored t'ther side of the house, prompting the owner to ask what i was upto. I explained and he seened satisfied that i was just a harmless eccentric type. Waited for 35 mins to catch 30 bus to Pontefract for 2nd stage, King's Mead hill. | Dazingdale | 21/01/2017 |
Agree with Peter D. High point is by wall, opposite tower. | Ramblingpaul | 05/11/2016 |
Alan Caine | 05/11/2016 | |
Possible to drive to within a few feet of top, but parked on main road and walked up. 
HP seemed to be by wall. 
The trig is in a garden of a house below the two at the top, so I wonder if it had been moved, as it is not where the map says it is. | PeterD | 26/10/2016 |

Beacon Hill is a public road so it is possible to drive up to the summit area. Alternatively, park on the main road and it is a couple of minutes to walk up to the top. Difficult to establish the summit, but it appears to be the rear boundary of the house. | moorsman | 01/04/2016 |
With Eire, Evan, Sail, Danu, Coel & Alfie. Where is the trig? | Dangerous Dave | 20/03/2016 |

With Catman. | oscarrosie | 29/10/2015 |
Saw water tower, windmill and trig in the wall | Adrian | 30/08/2015 |
Found the water tower and summit OK (hard not to) but searched high and low for trig which I guessed (correctly)was in one of the back gardens but nobody at home so thought better not explore uninvited. | Chris Pearson | 13/08/2015 |

Walked up Beacon Hill cul-de-sac to admire the old beacon, water tower and trig. | Dugswell2 | 23/11/2014 |
Up on Upton beacon there seems to be a lot going on. With Swelldug. My Wakefield completion - bet you are impressed. | Martin R | 23/11/2014 |

Should have taken 'Beacon Hill cul-de-sac' but made mistake of following bridleway at N end of village: a very circuitous way of getting to the water tower. Gap in hedge behind tower then led back to tarmac road outside gates. High point may be tarmac or field by hedge round back. Concrete tower hovering above is quite impressive - wouldn't like to live in those luxury homes below! | Aye Jimmy | 04/07/2014 |

At least i did the right thing and got out of the car to stand on the tarmac. | thenomad | 08/08/2013 |
