4th hill of 5 today with Lexi Rue, my partner's Labradoodle on a challenging route from Aldwick station to Barnsley visiting Brodsworth bing, Hickleton hill and Ringstone hill, after going too far into a Farmyard at Brierley manor and the alsation having to be called off Lexi we dropped down by a hedge and traversed across to the footpath around Bridge farm. The field was full of cavorting bullocks and so i carried Lexi with one hand while trying to ward off the cows with the other, meanwhile the farmer threatened to shoot us as we werent exactly on the footpath. Eventually got to the other end and into Grimesthorpe. Lees Hill was a diversion off Trans-pennine trail, we visited the trig first and then took a bearing through a field to a hedge and the summit lay just beyond and the cul-de-sac was used for the descent.Dazingdale28/05/2016
Climbed over gate in the cul de sac, now called Crummock Way! Solo.Dangerous Dave22/04/2016

End of Ennerdale Drive seems the highest point.Moorponder17/09/2015
Deep in National Character Area 38: The Notts, Derby, Yorkshire coalfield. A nice orderly suburban cul de sac led to a gate, nettles and a Tump summit, then walked out to nearby trig, with views over the Deane Valley which since the collapse of the coalfields (based on the high grade Barnsley coal seam) has been blighted by high deprivation in health, education, employment ( and aspiration).All this claimed by The Dearne Valley Landscape Partnership which is tackling this through their 30 year EcoVision to 'futurescape the area by making it the lowest carbon community of its type' in the country, and aiming to restablish local pride in the area.Chris Pearson13/08/2015
Parked by the side of the gate then quickly climbed over it.bolieve06/04/2015
End of Ennerdale Drive.ngthack24/03/2015
End of Ennerdale Drive near gate with Martin Richardson then onto bag the trig called Ardsley.Dugswell223/11/2014
Whoever named the nearby streets seemed to know the Lake District - but then included Aysgarth. The Ardsley trig much more interesting than the P30 summitMartin R23/11/2014
Difficult to assess the summit, however, I favour the posters who suggest that it is immediately beyond the gate at the end of Ennerdale Drive.moorsman11/11/2014
My second ever hill taken to by my grandad (moorsman)Williamr11/11/2014
