1st of 7 hills starting from the Ibis styles hotel in Barnsley bus to Penistone then another to Millhouse Green 
where the walk started. I used the road and once past the 
Wind turbines, turned into the bridleway, at the point where it turns I headed across the field to the grassy rise a few metres from the fence-line. I Followed the fence back to the main road. | Dazingdale | 24/08/2016 |
New tarmaced access area to windfarm gives ample off-road parking space to NE (alt 1128ft). As it was thick fog I crossed the road opened a field gate and headed directly across the field, hidden from view. Probably not possible on a clear day. 0.7 miles, 20 minutes return. | moorsman | 15/12/2015 |

Starting to bag local 300m tops - sopping wet grass on an hour + commute to work for a Saturday open day. Since my visit the UK's largest wood recycling plant has opened below to the west ( on the50 acre brown field site - formerly Hepworth clay pipes - the drainage sort, not those for smoking with). 350000 tons of wood chip is now supplied to Eons biomass power station on the site of the former famous Tinsley Towers ( cooling towers) on the edge of Sheffield. | Chris Pearson | 05/06/2011 |
