Approached from Wainscott - SW. Couldn't find path from the housing estate w of the summit. Worked my way round in the woods and ended up approaching from the east. A muddy path to the east and south east to return via Chattenden. | Moorponder | 25/11/2022 |

First hill bag of the decade. Relatively close to home so a quick drive out in the evening. Approached via a footpath from the estate to the south and worked my way though the woods and up the hill. Then took the other path that returned me in to the east of the estate via a long path down between gardens. Very, very, very muddy. Dog went straight in the bath. | MysteriousSue | 17/01/2020 |

From the estate, found GA's FP OK. Muddy little track, ended up heading approx 10m NW off the RoW seeking a HP, but all in vain really, might as well stick to the path. Tick | jonglew | 01/07/2016 |
From housing to west. Ratley Hill lies on The Hoo Peninsula,surrounded by the North Kent marshes SSSI. The dominating tall chimney belongs to Kingsnorth power station which since opening in 1967 has burned coal and oil. The location was chosen due to the proximity to London(who wanted the electricity), the availability of cooling water from the River Medway, and deep-water berthing for oil tankers and colliers. In 1987 Greenpeace scaled the chimney abseiled down and painted Gordon on the side (should have said Gordon bin it, but they ran out of time overnight) as a protest against fossil fuel pollution and the damage caused by climate change -upheld later in court as grounds for a rightful protest. In 2013 the plant was closed as it had not been adapted to meet emissions targets, and had run out of its allocated operating hours under EU environmental laws. | Chris Pearson | 15/06/2015 |
Path through new estate really does exist with signposts, but took a bit of finding. Parked at 7405 7315 at narrow entrance to path leading up to the top. Mud baked into hard ridges today | GordonAdshead | 19/04/2015 |
