2nd hill of 5 today on a route from the Victoria Hotel in Atherton (suburb of Bradford) to Halifax station, climbing Harrop Edge and then a lengthy walk borrowing the Bronte way before taking a track directly up past the 'sleeping' diggers and up past the vast excavated basin (in preparation for landfill I expect) to get to the highest point, one of a series of grassed over mounds on the Eastern side of the fp that runs through the centre. Strangely there is a stone circle made from slate slabs in the field to the Sw. I continued onwards to Swales Moor.Dazingdale05/02/2017

Night time ascent. Hill seen at its best -judging by other comments. Short stroll along fp from road to south.Chris Pearson02/09/2011
For baggers only. Trig gone and the top is like a tip. There is a nearby trig that can also be bagged.Alan Caine31/05/2010
Short walk, should be a trig but presumed buried under vast landscaped tip. There is another nearby on 'Soil Hill Connecting Point'. Close up view and photos of kestrel picking up and carrying off what looked like a rat.Aye Jimmy10/05/2007
