| From Coalcleugh, ample parking by road. Helping to survey the summit with Dave Marshall and Chris Crocker. | webmaster | 17/03/2024 |

| From coalcleugh. | robertphillips | 10/09/2023 |
| Followed the bridleway from Haggs Bank to the ridge then over the bogs (not too bad) to the summit. Back via Isaacs Tea trail as a round trip. Best of the afternoon after a torrential morning. | dchill01 | 05/08/2023 |
| With Colin. | Chris Ellis | 06/06/2023 |
| Easy out and back. The summit is a nothing burger. Choose your high point and get back to more interesting things. | Donpeblo | 29/05/2023 |
| Seemed positively pleasant after wretched Killhope Law. The north Pennines are not my favourite hills but they are peaceful. | Wycombe Wanderer | 28/08/2022 |
| Parking at Sunnyside/Coalcleugh. Followed Isaac's Tea Trail to the wall at the brow of the hill then N on a feint track along the wall. Good sized cairn, but true top on featureless ground; GPS necessary to check you're standing on the supposed high point. Terrible weather, rain and high winds. Retreated to the car to do other Nuttalls via the drive by method. | Lazylizzie | 24/08/2022 |
| Variation on Nuttall walk 10.2 from CP at highpoint on A689. | Longwojo | 16/07/2022 |
| A hot sunny day but just enough breeze to keep it comfortable. From junction at Black Hill to The Dodd. No real path but easy going. Parked at674493 on A689. Not ideal, half on road, half on verge but nowhere better. With hindsight I would have been better going through gate there and straight up onto the ridge but I opted to head north to the track but then immediately left it on an ATV. No problems and on return came straight down to gate opposite car | dickscroop | 11/07/2022 |
| Having re-supplied in Nenthead on day 5 of a 6 day backpack, I climbed out of the village to tick off The Dodd. The last half mile was really quite tough as the heather was quite deep. Great views and very peaceful. | morgs4mountains | 25/03/2022 |
| up the bridleway from Coalcleugh. 45 mins return. | jef | 25/01/2022 |
| Freezing conditions were optimal | Pete Pozman | 02/12/2021 |
| From nenthead via isaacs tea trail. Bit of a nondescript hill! | emily | 17/09/2021 |
| Parking at Sunnyside. Followed Isaac's Tea Trail to the wall at the brow of the hill then N on a feint track along the wall. Featureless top; nothing stands out so you'll need GPS to know you're standing on the supposed high point. | JohnR | 13/09/2021 |
| very wet under foot visited summit and cairn | Darren-443 | 30/08/2021 |
| From pt.609 on the C road (NY794444), not recommended. The ATV track is useful for all of 50 metres to a ‘gate’ that isn’t. Then a faint rough path follows E side of fence until it handrails one into a quacking mass of The Swamp, where it disappears; here, Terra Firma is available on the W side of the fence. An ATV track starts at the wall/PF junction and goes N to the wall corner, from where the final 300 metres is over peat hags, tussock grass and bogs | Isbjorn | 28/08/2021 |
| 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 |
| Visited cairn and summit | 2510chris | 02/04/2021 |
| Start at Grid 799432. Cross the road and follow the fence line up to The Dodd. From there return along the fence line and head for Killhope avoiding most of the peat hags. | smocks and denims | 17/12/2020 |
| From Nenthead mines car park after Flinty Fell in the morning, up Isaac's Tea Trail, until just before the wall then cut up to the summit (would have probably been easier to follow tea trail until over the wall), a bit rough but not too wet underfoot, returned by walking E to the bridleway marked <200m from the summit (it did vaguely exist) then followed s to meet the junction of the wall, and the tea Trail at a gate, then cut down the bridlepath that sort cuts the Tea trail (which vaguely exists in parts) and is signposted at a gate to come out onto the track, then back down to Nenthead. | JulieB | 27/11/2020 |
| From Black Hill road junction. Followed ATV tracks on left side of fence. Then through wall at Isaac Tea trail gate and narrow trail across to top. Easy! with B and R. | jenx | 09/11/2020 |
| Solo | Madjonny | 22/09/2020 |
| Followed Isaac's tea trail path, Jake found a frog, and note that there is now a Cairn at the far North of the plateau, returned via the grouse butts and Jake was disappointed to find only one spent cartridge. | simocity | 31/08/2020 |
| 2nd Nuttall of the day with my Dad. | Jake Simpson | 31/08/2020 |
| From Nenthead | Jim T | 29/08/2020 |
| From Coalcleugh cattle grid. Up via Isaac's tea trail, then by the wall. Return following Nuttall directly ESE towards Sunnyside. | Peter_W_Mitchell | 07/08/2020 |
| Cowshill to Middlehope Moor via High Greenfield. Along county boundary to Stangend Rigg to Killhope Law. Continue along county boundary Black Hill Quarries to The Dodd. Return to public footpath (Isaac’s Tea Trail) and descent to Dykeheads and Nenthead. Out to Nenthead Lead Mine and ascent via public footpath to Flinty Fell. Descent to track and follow track to Perry Dam. Ascent to Nag’s Head and on to Dead Stones. Return to Cowshill via Lamb’s Head, Highwatch Currick and Cleugh Head. | raymooremanx | 11/07/2020 |
| As others, from Coalcleugh. | PGCE | 16/05/2020 |
| From Coalcleugh, good parking at NY 8019 4527. Took marked PRoW up; direct line to re-join RoW at NY 7975 4529. | jonglew | 17/07/2019 |
| From Haggs Bank campsite over Roughside to Summit. | dgresty | 21/06/2019 |
| From Coalcleugh, to road summit first, then along ridge to cairn and various heathery bumps which all look the same, returning more directly using Isaac's Tea Trail. A bit soggy after the day's rain. | milimana | 18/05/2019 |
| From Nenthead using Isaac's Tea Trail. Foggy and very wet underfoot due to recent snow melt | Gary Heath | 06/04/2019 |
| Followed Isaac's tea trail to the wall then turned right snowing on top with Andy | colinfielding | 08/03/2019 |
| With Colin, up from Coalcleugh in the rain and snow. | Andrew Pearson | 08/03/2019 |
| Modified Nuttall route round The Dodd, Killhope Law and Burtree Fell, using 2 cars, starting at Killhope Cross and finishing in Cowshill. with SCM. | IanHHill | 04/11/2018 |
| Easy short walk from road to south. | lenman | 09/06/2018 |
| Parked in the convenient gravel bay just North of Sunnyside and followed Isaac's Tea Trail and the county boundary to the hummocky summit plateau. The dry spell made playing king of the castle on possible summits quite diverting. Headed back from a candidate high point 100 yards NW of the cairn by the direttissima tussockfest route to Coalcleugh. | Nick Down1 | 01/06/2018 |
| Parked at the high point of the Nenthead-Coalcleugh road. The walk started with a descent to a boggy, swampy col and then climbed up to the peat hags on the summit plateau. These were not as bad as feared. Retraced route to the car. With JT and HT. | Sprog | 21/04/2018 |
| From Coalcleugh along surprisingly dry path past Sunnyside as far as wall.Then up path by side of wall to ruin and on further path almost to summit mound.With Oscar. | catman | 20/04/2018 |
| With Catman. | oscarrosie | 20/04/2018 |
| From Coalcleugh Farm. Sunny but soft snow. | Winterfloodian | 08/01/2018 |
| I continued to Coalcleugh and along Isaac’s Tea Trail past Sunnyside before leaving the Trail and ascending the grassy pathless hillside of The Dodd. The summit, a conical cairn, was nowhere near the GPS reference. For a while I thought I would not find it, until I spotted it across a number of grassy hummocks. | peter4lc | 12/10/2017 |
| From Killhope Cross | Slash3 | 30/09/2017 |
| From the summit of the road at Black Hill. | Alan Caine | 03/06/2017 |
| Walked on my own there and back from Nenthead, starting along Isaac's Tea Trail. Perfect walking weather. Did this in the morning before driving to High Force to bag Binks Moss. | flockwatcher | 09/05/2017 |
| Nuttall Walk EN 10.2 Killhope Law from Cowshill, visiting The Dodd, Killhope Law and Middlehope Moor. 21km with 670m ascent in 7 hours. (S) | silveracorn_alan | 04/02/2017 |
| Bagged the Dodd while on the Isaac Tea Trail from Allendale. Would be easy to do from Coalcleugh... just follow the trail to the boundary wall and then up the Dodd. There is a small path to the summit that dodges most of the bog but the summit requires a bit of navigation around bog to reach. | NorthernWayfarer | 26/06/2016 |
| With G. From Nenthead > Black Hill > The Dodd > Whimsey Hill > Nenthead via Isaac's Tea Trail past the model village. | RT1970 | 14/03/2016 |
| THIRD CONSECUTIVE FINE DAY AT ALSTON BASE CAMP. WALK BASED ON NUTTALL' WALK 10.2 BUT LAZILY DROVE TO NEAREST POINT ON ROAD TO THE DODD, KILLHOPE LAW AND MIDDLEHOPE MOOR AND WENT UP AND BACK EACH. A PLEASANT DRIVE BUT WALKS SOMEWHAT NONDESCRIPT. | BURGESS | 27/09/2015 |
