| From near priorsdale. | robertphillips | 10/09/2023 |
| From Burnhope reservoir, Nuttall walk 10.1: Three Pikes (hideous boggy mess),Great Stony Hill, Harwood Common, Burnhope Seat Trig and true summit, and Dead Stones. Good walking weather, cool with good visibility. This is a really tough walk due to the terrain (peat hags, heather & bog) and long sections with no paths. | Lazylizzie | 25/08/2022 |
| En route to Burnhope Seat from Kilhope Cross. Paths nice and dry and able to bounce through the peat hags without deviation. Fine and sunny and the ideal time to be up here with a nice breeze on the tops. Only saw one person all day just past the cairn here. | Walker Dan | 11/08/2022 |
| Four tops in three short walks. First Round Hill from Tynehead road end, easy going. Then drove round to Flinty Fell from North, located unmarked summit with OS Locate. Then round to do Burnhope Seat and Dead Stones via the ski tow. This last also easy going but it would have been a different matter after a wet spell I suspect. | dickscroop | 07/07/2022 |
| 5/5 of 10.1 round | DavidGMould | 24/06/2022 |
| From Burnhope reservoir,Three Pikes,Great Stony Hill, Harwood Common, Burnhope Seat and Dead Stones. 5.5 hours, overcast but no mist. | Longwojo | 13/06/2022 |
| Quick out & back from Burnhope Seat trig with J. | NotReallyABagger | 22/05/2022 |
| My penultimate summit on day 4 of a 6 day backpack. I approached via Burnhope Seat and the walk in was much easier than I had anticipated it would be. Windy at the summit. | morgs4mountains | 24/03/2022 |
| Very easy walk from Nenthead. Carried on to Ashgill, up the skiing to Burnhope Seat. And horrible walk along to Dead Stones, Nag's Head, Knoutberrry Hill and back to Nenthead. Take gaiters next time! 12.5m all round. | NCurtis | 26/02/2022 |
| Circular walk from parking at Killhope Cross. Down to old workings, Priorsdale, Little Gill Hush, Burnhope Seat hp & trig, Dead Stones and Knoutberry Hill. Overcast, misty at times. With Gillian, Graham and Selwyn | richard69 | 14/11/2021 |
| With Kay, out and back from Killhope Cross to Dead Stones, about 8k in total. Going was excellent after the dry weather, 2 hrs return. | PDR365 | 22/09/2021 |
| From burnhope reservoir up the causeway track then across to burnhope west and down via high watch currick. Mostly an uninspiring bit trot would hate to be here when the ground is sodden as it was mostly dry and I still had to avoid bogs. The little shelter here was at least interesting | emily | 18/09/2021 |
| From pt 627 (Killhope Cross) on the A689. Not as bad as it could have been. The mapped track on the E side of the wall, isnt. A promising thin rough path on the W side of the wall becomes intermittent, interspersed with oodles of lurid yellow-green bog, hags and self-levelling lakes of black peat. Sections of good going keep spirits up. Not sure which is worse a) the next 50 m of fence ahead receding infinitely into fog or b) the fog lifting and exposing the full horror of the distance to cover. High P nice weather? pah! Cold wind, low cloud and mizzle, drizzle, rain, all day - its a Bank Holiday! | Isbjorn | 29/08/2021 |
| Using MTB for part of the route | Pete Pozman | 02/06/2021 |
| With Sue and NB from parking area at Kilhope Cross, follow border boundary line to Knoutberry, Nags Head and Dead Stones. Surprisingly dry. Came back followed fence and followed West side from Knoutberry on better ground to start. | Frank | 01/06/2021 |

| A 22 kilometre hike from Killhope Cross via Nag's Head, Dead Stones, the south end of Perry's Dam, Flinty Fell, Nenthead, Dykeheads, The Dodd, Coalcleugh, Shivery Hill, Killhope Law and the county boundary back to Killhope Cross. | Clach Liath | 16/04/2021 |

| Nuttalls 10.1 | maclrc | 17/09/2020 |
| From Nag's Head. Terrain slightly better now. Leant on the cairn (which was moving in the wind) to make a phone call and returned to car. An unenjoyable 6km walk on top of the unremarkable 22km walk earlier but it beats being at work and I've collected another eight tops. | Wycombe Wanderer | 09/09/2020 |
| From Nags Head. Descent diagonally across tussock moor to Priorsdale, the. Down through mines to Nenthead. | Jim T | 29/08/2020 |

| from Nenthead via Perry's Dam and Nag's Head [which sounds more like a pub than a hill] en route to Burnhope Seat. | IanHHill | 03/08/2020 |

| Parked at top of forestry. Track from NY 7776 4063 leads to an ATV track, which goes to the fence on the ridgeline about 500m South of summit. | PGCE | 17/05/2020 |
| Parked at NY 77891 40661 at cattle grid on dead end minor road to Priorsdale. Straight line up beside Hunters Cleugh and fence and then up to large perpendicular cairn. One hour up and down. Good route. | Campbell Singer | 05/01/2020 |
| From Nenthead. Followed track through the mine complex then followed the fences to the summit. Terrain was a mix of heather and bog. Weather was horrendous, high winds, horizontal rain, and clag. I had intended on bagging more summits but weather forced me back. The shelter at the top was a welcome break from the wind and rain but visibility and temperature were reducing rapidly and the water had penetrated my waterproofs and boots. | NorthernWayfarer | 04/01/2020 |
| Parking area at bottom of ski slope. Up past ski lift to BurnhopeSeat trig. Then out and back to Harwood Common and out and back to Dead Stones and Nags Head. Lots of boggy ground, peat hags and tussocks. Made sure of Burnhope Seat on return and the cairn. Some views over to Cross and tghe Dun fells but hazy. Bit of a slog. | mart0797 | 25/07/2019 |
| As per Nuttalls' 10.1 minus Three Pikes. Lovely clear day and vey dry underfoot. | milimana | 23/05/2019 |
| From Reservoir | lenman | 04/05/2019 |
| From parking spot at Killhope Cross. Followed fenceline south to Dead Stones, picking up several HB and non-HB tops. Then due east to Dead Stones E Top and Highwatch Currick (both non-HB hills). Lot of wet ground and masses of peak hags after couple of days of rain. | jonglew | 06/03/2019 |
| With G. From Ashgill Bridge then minor road at Mid Ashgill to access land just south of Harelaw Hill. Followed boundaries > Burnhope Seat > Burnhope Seat Trig > Dead Stones. Headed west / WSW to pick up good track at Little Gill Hush then back on minor road to Ashgill. | RT1970 | 23/02/2019 |
| From Burnhope Reservoir, Nuttalls route without Three Pikes. Sunny but very wet underfoot | Gary Heath | 17/02/2019 |
| From top of Ashgill Wood via Flinty Fell. | Winterfloodian | 17/07/2018 |
| 10 mile walk from Ashgill Bridge, down to lovely waterfall then along river S. Tyne to Tynehead farm, took footpath up then ascended Burnhope Seat to road then through ski tows to featureless summit and after trig, followed ridge to Dead Stones then along to Nags Head rise, descended to Perrys dam and picked up quarry track, rough route across to Flinty Fell, from there headed back to quarry track then barely used footpath back to Ashgill Bridge. Great sunny day with breeze and great views, at the moment very easy to walk because all bogs are dry, would hate to do this walk after a lot of rain. | DanTrig | 29/06/2018 |
| Yad Moss to Killhope Cross with Joe. | John Lee | 13/06/2018 |
| Knoutberry Hill > Nags Head North Top > Nags Head (Old top - 673m spot ht) > Nags Head > Dead Stones > Dead Stones East Top (Scurraberry) > Highwatch Currick from GR: NY 79938 43225 | ronaldo333 | 26/05/2018 |

| CW circuit of Flinty Fell, Nags Head, Dead Stones & Burnhope Seat, starting from Ashgill Bridge - fine weather - a bit too hot! | ger | 06/05/2018 |
| Circuit from the reservoir. | tomd4 | 27/04/2018 |
| DR Nordic-Skiing | Vin | 08/03/2018 |
| From Cowshill via Highwatch Currick. Easy going up to Highwatch Currick then rough. Maybe staying by the fence is not the best route? Saw mountain hare in full winter garb. Most enjoyable in fine weather | trimarc2 | 20/02/2018 |
