Oh dear!!! What a sad location. Leaving a cemetery in such a state!!!!! Disrespectful to say the least. As stated previously, pretty straightforward find in the woodland next to the EE mast. I got a bit scratched getting to the pillar.

Third of four bagged whilst in Leeds collecting a car. Parked in the current cemetery carpark, up the road a short while, then up the track past the overgrown cemetery. Round the back, oast the mast and into the woods. Immediate left and about 20m away. Hard to see in the undergrowth. Itchy.

Parked at New Jewish cemetery on Gelderd road then crossed the road walk back towards steel gate, walk up track passing old Jewish cemetery that for some reason looks to have just been sadly forgotten about, Once at top of track you come to a comms tower on your right. Enter trees through small gap and Trig is on your left, No real view and this could be a bit tricky in the summer once the bushes start to grow. Replacement centre cap fitted

(2280) Parked at the new cemetery on Gelderd Road, and walked back to the access Lane. Barrier open. Steady 4 minute walk to the pillar, passing the old Jewish cemetery as you go. Pillar soon found, and though in an overgrown spot, all relevant parts was viewable. A nice one to bag, all told. Pillar history: Built on the 26th of November 1946, at a cost of £6 19s 0d. Last maintained by the OS in July of 1986.

New "No Entry" signs have been erected on the access lane due to the area being "condemned for safety reasons". The greatest hazard I encountered was the fly tipping. Whoever tipped it must either have a key for the locked barrier or have carried it an applaudable distance! The pillar is quite easily accessible following directions on here from others. Not worth visiting unless you really really have to.

This one is up a muddy track. Getting alongside was difficult due to the area being over grown with Brambles and Hawthorn. I had to use cutters to access the flush bracket. All the fittings are in place, a bit tatty looking but all intact.

After reading previous logs, I parked in the newer cemetery on the left with no problems, and walked up to the mast access track. The now disused Jewish cemetery borders the track on the right all the way up to the mast. It has been completely abandoned to nature, and is very overgrown. There are still plenty of beautiful Hebrew inscriptions visible, however. It's a rather unnerving place to be alone. There is a gate to hop over about halfway up where the track doglegs to the left and then north again; this then leads to the mast. The track actually now leads into the woods behind the mast - an obvious hole in the hedge has opened up. There is no need to climb over any barbed wire or further fencing - go through the hole, turn left and the trig is a short way into the undergrowth in the hedge. The pillar is completely swamped by the (thorny) foliage, but still appears in sound condition. A good trig to visit.

2 of 4, sunny sunday. Arrived at 12:15 and couldn't find it, after getting legs scratched. Returned to car at Crow Nest trig and decided to try again. Walked up lane with sign 'Tresspassers will be...' to be questioned by blokes putting in fence posts. The track wasn't their land but knew whose it was, eventually accepting I was genuine said it was ok. I asked about the nearby near derelict Jewish graveyard nearby, they said it was the old one replaced by a new one on the A62. I found the trig after a better look round. Go up to the NW side of the cemetery behind the aerial, enter the woodland and immediately turn L, walk 10yds NW following edge of woodland. Trig is on the left, good luck, I wish I took my shears. On to Tunnel How Hill trig N Leeds.

Log #27. (113m). Leg 2 of 10.3 km, 3-Trig walk from Gildersome to White Rose Ctr via Hart Hill and Peter Lane. Second attempt to bag this one. Last time was 01 July 2010. Ignoring the prohibition notices this time, I found getting to this trig was bad. Had to climb over a fence that obviously used to be a stile next to trig and then fight thru thorns to get at it. Only view was back up the hill toward Hart Hill. Strangely, there was a hand made camouflaged bench next to the trig. Had lunch sitting on it. Wierd. (The bench that is, not me having lunch!)

As suggested below I approached up the lane, kept to the left of the enclosed area and up to the mast. Around the mast to the wooded area with barbed wire fence. Just a few yards to the left the trig can just be seen through the fence partially hidden in shrubbery and trees. You need to stride over the fence into the jungle to get a view of the flush bracket. Small hawthorns, brambles and nettles are trying to stop you. Not a place to wear shorts!

An interesting location. Up closed lane (threat of prosecution because of danger!) to radio mast passing Jewish Cemetery. Crossed fence into woodland and stumbled arround fence line through lush summer growth of brambles, nettles and branches (scratches and stings to prove it) Found pillar more by accident than design. Probably easier in winter. The cemetery proved most interesting what a shame it has been allowed to become so neglected. Anyway I have lived to tell the tale.

I suspect that the sign is either to prevent vandalism or to hide the site from the public because the majority of it is in disrepair. It is a shame that these people have been forgotten. Anyway, no problem getting up the lane, easiler to then take the grassy lane on the left, round the exterior
