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 Jackson | 01/08/2022 |

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 Dave | 19/11/2019 |

Parked to the NE by electricity sub-station SK264999. Construction started on new house/water board building near summit. | David Evans | 10/02/2019 |
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. | vegibagger | 05/01/2019 |

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 jaunts | The-Z-Man | 08/09/2018 |
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. | jonglew | 25/01/2018 |
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. | IanHHill | 11/01/2018 |

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. | Dazingdale | 25/06/2016 |

Parked on Hunshelf Hall Lane then walked up track and round to steps towards reservoir with Smudge. | Dugswell2 | 02/04/2016 |
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. | Smudge | 02/04/2016 |
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. | Wheelsy | 30/03/2016 |
a walk around Briery Busk, Whitwell Moor and a look at Walders Low | joseph mitchell | 22/02/2016 |
Yes, nice and easy from the north via Nine Acre Lane | Mark Sims | 08/01/2016 |
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! | moorsman | 15/12/2015 |
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 Pearson | 13/08/2015 |
