This was the first of four Trig points found on a circular run from Roundhay Park. This is atop an embankment beside the A6120. I entered the field on which it is located from the Woodhouse Farm entrance.

Wouldn't normally park kerb-side but this trig-trott's a quickie & there's little where else... Park just to the right of the lane to Woodhouse Farm by 'mounting' the low kerb...Make a turn right into the lane then almost immediately another right turn to climb the low embankment into the field. Walking with the hedgerow to your right & parallel to the road, the trig is but a short distance amidst the foliage.

A very quick raid from the lay-by just before the bus stop on the A6120, to the north of the pillar. We ditched the car and quickly walked to the foot of the banking, and then a very quick scrabble up through the scrub to the trig. Pillar is still in good condition, easy access this way or the older conventional way via the field edge. Revisit for me, but my little trigbagger's 78th pillar.

After a hike around the Bramham Park Estate with Dearne Valley Walking Group that included a visit to Thorner Moor, Steve Pennock and I remained in the area to do some trig bagging. This was three of six more that afternoon. We parked on the busy A6120 for the short scramble up the bank to the trig point sited amongst the tree line. It's in generally good condition but the centre of the spider has been replaced. Open views accross farmland.

In Leeds dog-sitting during a friend's wedding. Took her on a long walk round the lovely Roundhay Park and beyond, with a quick stop off to nab the trig. Rather tricky scaling the bank beside the road with the dog in tow and not the nicest of locations stuck right on the edge of a field. But hey-ho, another trig.

(2110) West Park Drive (East) for parking, and then a steady ten minute walk to the pillar. Accessible via the field boundary at the start of the PRoW, but I opted for scaling the embankment - steep, and after some rain, very slippery! Pillar is good condition, though the centre cap is non original. Pillar history: Built on the 18th of March 1947, at a cost of £5 10s 0d. Last maintained by the OS in September of 1986.

I've been putting this one off for 11 years...today was the day. I didn't make it easy. The problem is that you feel as if the farm can see you; that plus walkers on the footpath going to the farm made me reject the easier field edge route. Below the pillar the embankment is steep. I walked past it up to a bench where the embankment is easier to get up. Once up I had to push through a hedge to get into the trig field. From there I managed to bag the pillar, and so exited down the steep embankment back onto the ring road. Pillar in good condition and should be safe from ongoing roadworks. My first new pillar in my home county since January 2019.

The East Leeds Orbital Route works have commenced at the Whinmoor end of the A6120, and having been told that "all the trees have gone", I went out this morning to see if the trig was safe. It is - for now. The huge roundabout that will begin construction soon is still a good half-mile from the trig pillar, and it looks unlikely to be affected. In fact, it may shortly become extremely easily accessible - there will be a beautiful new tarmac footpath running directly beneath the embankment it sits on, so it should be the work of a moment to visit.

Parked on Gateland Lane, and walked along the lovely farm track towards Woodhouse Farm before turning off the track and heading up along the field edge that rises up above the A6120. I was obviously not the first person to do this recently, as the weeds and foliage were already trampled in a beeline straight to the trig. Being careful to avoid crushing any of the knee-height cereal crops, the trig appears at a rise right on the edge of the drop away down to the road. The pillar is weathered and has some vegetation attached, but in otherwise fine condition.

5 of 6 on a father's day drive/cycle. Followed advice as per previous triggers, though went up to nearby 'farm' to ask permission. The bloke who answered had no idea what I was talking about and said it wasn't his land so couldn't say yea or nay. Found out later some 'faceless' trust may own it. Anyhow found trig in hedge, 100 yards (about) E of track entrance gate on the field side. Couldn't see a wall, just a steep banking dropping behind to the main road. Wasn't a pleasant ride along this road either. No views.
