| A59 closed for roadworks at Blubberhouses forcing me south off the direct Kendal to Harrogate route to collect an e-bay double bed frame (which fitted into my Fiat Panda-just!). Joined an hour of interminable creeping morning rush hour traffic heading towards Leeds through Ilkley & Otley (traffic lights). Consolation prize was an ascent of lovely Rawden Hill -widely spaced beech trees and pleasant non troublesome undergrowth allowing my uphill walking speed to rival the last hour of rush hour driving speed. This Tump was a new kid on the block in 2017 after I had previously completed Leeds U/A the year before. | Chris Pearson | 09/04/2024 |
| From Eccup Moor Road Parking, along Dales Way and up wall to Bowshaws Trig. Joined Allums Lane and Bedlam Lane then straight up Rawden Hill from first broken fence slat opportunity, parallel to wall on W. Lovely beech wood. Down similar. E on road, then first road on R. S to corner then E on path to Stub. S part Stub House Farm and muddy path back to Bank House Farm and parking. Beautiful area, and soaring red kite. 9km morning walk. | Lynnebe | 26/03/2024 |
| As others, parked in High Wardley Lane, over gate and up through a lovely Beech wood. Plenty of Red Kite overhead, windy. | matty1971b | 20/01/2024 |

| From handy pull-in at SE 2913 4455, over wooden fence & up through fabulous beech woodland to summit. | gerrybowes | 14/09/2022 |
| From Harewood, out back gate and along road to gate up through Beech trees to summit. | Flatfield | 16/08/2022 |
| From the south. Shock to see the bluebells had gone over. Bracken not to bad | fasgadh | 22/05/2022 |
| Started on church lane in harewood. 6.5 mile loop back to start on crisp, sunny winters day. Perfect for it and nice wooded area for the summit | The-Z-Man | 19/01/2022 |
| Completion round of both the Wharfe catchment and Leeds UA summits today, visiting Rawden Hill, Healthwaite Hill, Walton Head Whin, Bilbrough Hill, Garforth Cliff, Beecroft Hill, Owlcotes Hill and Tinshill Moor. The car did most of the heavy work, clocking up 100 miles, whereas I only walked 6 miles to bag all of them! (S) | silveracorn_alan | 02/01/2022 |
| Parked to the South in pull-in SE291445. | David Evans | 25/11/2019 |
| Very pleasant walk from gate alongside road to south. 10 enjoyable minutes return | moorsman | 07/05/2019 |
| short walk though leaf litter to summit | cjo | 09/02/2019 |

| Solo. Hopped over gate from minor road to south. An easy bag in beautiful woodland. | Dangerous Dave | 25/11/2017 |
| Parked on road to south. Hopped over wooden sparred fence and up through beautiful woodland. Note the gates along the road to the west. they must be for securing something worth a few bob. | Campbell Singer | 02/11/2017 |
| Easy wander up from S, lay-by, beech leaves still green, red kite calling. Flat rock 1m NE of a beech gets my vote. Leeds recompleted, first car trip since thumb fracture operation, with a few ex trig pillar sites around Leeds. | RHW | 22/10/2017 |
| Clandestine approach from north, leaving no sign of my ascent. Chilternesque summit. | Wycombe Wanderer | 07/09/2017 |
| Parked to south, avoided bracken, easy walk up through trees. | PeterD | 05/09/2017 |
| Parked in layby after visiting Harewood House & gardens with my mum. She waited in car while i climbed over metal railings and walked up through beech wood to summit area. Summit is very flat and could be any point within a 30m stretch. I located some mossy stones and somebody has put a stick in nearby to mark the spot but there are a few contenders for the summit. Atmospheric lighting today with views over to the Scots pine further down to the East. My highest reading was a bit further to the South. Easy return to car, onwards to Hambleton Hough. | Dazingdale | 02/09/2017 |
| Like others from minor road to the south | Alan Caine | 30/08/2017 |
| Parked in the second small lay-by near a damaged gate for an easy bag in pretty woodland. | Dugswell2 | 03/07/2017 |
| With Mrs ngthack. On way to RHS Harlow Carr. Well, I had to give her some incentive to come a-tumping with me. Easy bag if you avoid the bracken. Couple of lay bys due south of summit. | ngthack | 27/06/2017 |
| In summer don't park to the SE and take a direct line - the bracken is head high and can all be avoided by approaching from the S. | jimbloomer | 24/06/2017 |
| Didn't park quite far enough along the yellow road from the junction. Result of starting at gate at junction was head height damp bracken and nettles under pines. Breaking out into bracken free beech tees and finding it was clear all the way down to the road just two hundred metres west. | vegibagger | 23/06/2017 |
| A 380m sweep to recomplete Cental Beds and Leeds. A delightful wood and a very welcoming rail fence. I felt that the high point was about 50m South of the spot height. | GordonAdshead | 15/06/2017 |
| Nice wood.Agree hard to be sure of actual top. | catman | 11/06/2017 |
| Good parking due S of hill at SE 2916.4455. Over fence into lovely open beech woodland (managed by Tilhill Forestry). Flattish summit area, difficult to pinpoint summit. Took reading at group of mossy stones. | Aye Jimmy | 11/06/2017 |
| Spotted on changes list and bagged before listed. Easier than looked likely from aerial map. | Bramley | 06/06/2017 |
