Parked at 568m spot. Followed gravel track to 100m before shooting hut then turned left to follow the ATV track for grouse butts almost to the summit, avoiding all the mud. | webmaster | 18/03/2024 |
Tough going from Nenthead in thick snow via The Dodd and Coalcleugh. Blue skies. Nice frozen tarn on top. Some slog through the peat groughs in the snow heading west back to Nenthead. | cumbria mammoth | 03/03/2024 |
Track up to near the top. | robertphillips | 10/09/2023 |

Flying visit from Australia. From Killhope mine centre up the footpath to the ridge, Killhope Law, Stangend and Middlehope Moor. Fine views from summit, the pole seems to be back. | dchill01 | 06/08/2023 |

Everyone else has said this is a bill that fights you all the way with its trackless heather. They’re right. It’s done. Never coming back. | Donpeblo | 29/05/2023 |

Appropriate hill name. From 609 to west. I was expecting the usual heather and sponge but it was far worse than that, with some of the worst peat hags I've encountered and I started to wonder if I did something really bad in a past life. I recommend any other route, unless there's something you desperately need to atone for. | Wycombe Wanderer | 28/08/2022 |
From Nenthead to Allenheads road. Layby between Shivery hill and 569 metres on OS map. Took track towards shooting hut, then slogged up through heather. On the way back took the plastic road that we hadn't found on the way up, which was much easier. Weather cleared . Broken poll and huge cairn on summit. | Lazylizzie | 24/08/2022 |

Variation on Nuttall walk 10.2 from CP at highpoint on A689. | Longwojo | 16/07/2022 |

Definitely picked the wrong day to do this - the weather was ok when we left Allenheads but by the time we were half up the Carriers Way to Killhope Law I realised I was soaked even though it barely seemed to be raining At the top it was quite windy and viability was awful so no panoramic views. Only stayed long enough to photograph the damaged trig, the cairn and the now broken pole. I'd always intended to come back down via the plastic road but visibility was so bad I couldn't see it. Eventually I found it after following the white poles of the grouse feeding stations | deadheaduk | 15/07/2022 |
From Swinhope Head first to Chapelfell top following the wall virtually all the way, easy going in this dry spell. Then back across road for similar walk to Westhope Hill. Drove round to above Coalcleugh for another easy walk to Killhope Law. | dickscroop | 10/07/2022 |
CHAOS Club meet, Tony, Brian Steve and Alan R, quite a tough amble across the peat groughs from Killhope Cross, back via Black Hill. | Lou | 01/05/2022 |

This was a tough climb for me as the heat had started to get to me! I had climbed up from the road near Coalcleugh as per the Nuttals route. Far reaching views from the summit. | morgs4mountains | 25/03/2022 |

From 568 spot height to N. Followed the track then through the pathless heather to the top. A good AV track follows the line of grouse butts and would make for an easier ascent. | JohnR | 13/09/2021 |
The second hill on a 93km walk from Gateshead to Alston. | Christo1979 | 05/09/2021 |
From pt 568 on the Nenthead to Allenheads road. Gravel track to shooting hut, but missed the ATV track cutting back left about 100 m before the hut. Ruff’n’tuff above the hut. From the trig point a thin path follows a bearing of 314 degrees before petering out – continuing on the bearing intersects the plastic netting lined ATV track – (blessed relief from the veg) – back to the hut. High P – nice weather? – pah! Cold wind, low cloud and mizzle, drizzle, rain, all day - it’s a Bank Holiday! | Isbjorn | 29/08/2021 |

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 |

Large cairn on top alongside trig point further along. 
Stopped at nearby shooting hut for lunch | 2510chris | 25/03/2021 |
From Killhope Law retrace your steps to the fence line and back to the start. Also took in The Dodd. | smocks and denims | 17/12/2020 |
From 568 spot height. Mine track then well maintained shooting butt track nearly all the way to top of Killhope. Carried on to Stangend Rigg and Middlehope Moor. Surprisingly good underfoot. Short heather and bog free. Swirling mist in the valley and mostly sunny. With B and R. | jenx | 09/11/2020 |

Probably my favourite top of the day, nice little body of water, great views and a few features on the summit. Jake found another frog, but was disappointed that I wouldn't let him take a live shotgun cartridge home. | simocity | 31/08/2020 |
3rd Nuttall of the day with my Dad. | Jake Simpson | 31/08/2020 |
