Boo and I on a beautiful day. | Alphaville199 | 26/01/2024 |
Parked off road at 60010918. Follow the track up to the building. Follow one of the many faint paths up through the heather around to the Southwest of the hill, old ruined marks where you turn off, a path behind goes all the way to the top. Reverse route to get back. | smocks and denims | 11/10/2023 |

From the road to the south nice gentle slopes trig.FB 10793 | vegibagger | 19/03/2020 |
2/2 Parked by Hardendale motorway depot, wandered along tarmac lane and up onto Hardendale Nab, with five little stone men just along from the summit. Then picked up the Coast to Coast path over to top of Oddendale and used good bridleway up to ridge close to summit of Long Scar Pike (Coalpit Hill) and used grouse feeder tracks to gain summit. Direct line back to car was ok because of sheep tracks and tarmac on LHS of woodland just before motorway junction. 1.5 hours total pleasant wander. | nickywood1 | 24/11/2019 |

Part of Coast-to-Coast part 2, 2016 | mavero10 | 12/06/2016 |
Perhaps this hill signifies all that walkers are trying to avoid. Constant sound and sight of the M6, sound of quarry blasting in the distance and the feeling of utter despair. Parking just before the M6 southbound bridge .... alt 1003ft. A non-too arduous walk directly across the fell to the top. 1.72 miles, 324 ft ascent 55 mins return. Glad this one is now over. | moorsman | 02/03/2016 |
Took longer,but easier,route up bridleway from South,then along grassy path past grouse butts.Lake District bright,Howgills inviting,North Pennines black,M6...mmm.With Oscar. | catman | 26/02/2016 |
With Catman. | oscarrosie | 26/02/2016 |
With Eire, Sail, Danu, Coel & Alfie. We also bagged Crosby Ravensworth Fell. Could this be a Tump? | Dangerous Dave | 22/11/2015 |
Parked by road near Oddendale and walked along Coast to Coast path and then by Grouse Butts to top. Fantastic walk starting in very warm sunshine watching the fog creeping in and, as a bonus, the local cows cleaned our car for us! | Jacqdaw | 03/11/2015 |
Direct line from ESE, bit of a flog through snow and heather. Trig, and what at first sight appears to be a shelter, has been filled in with rocks to produce a topless cairn... | Aye Jimmy | 01/02/2015 |
Ravensworth Fell, my 1,000 trig now bagged and a double 1,000 trig celebration with Jim Fothergill and 6 other hardy folk. Thanks Chris for your photos. Fifth celebration drink of the day after Phil Cooper's Birkett and Synge completion earlier. 
Then climbed the ancient cairn. | Dugswell2 | 17/08/2014 |
Big ancienr cairn on summit.. Several triggers admiring the trig. | Adrian | 17/08/2014 |
From ESE, Dugswell2 and Jim Fothergills's 1000th trig pillar and the first ever such to be celebrated. Showery with nice rainbow, excellent company and welcome whisky and rum :-) | RHW | 17/08/2014 |
Parked to SE at NY 60024 09121. Bridleway then not too troublesome heather bash to summit. | David Gradwell | 16/08/2014 |
Having had a lazy day I decided I'd better get some exercise, out came the mountain bike and up we went. | Chipstertrain | 27/07/2014 |
Parked to South nr quarry. Used ATV tracks to get on hill, then bit of heather bashing looking for line. Nice summit, trig and large stone cairn. Great views of Lakes (and M6 which I have known so well over the years!) | nordicstar | 29/04/2014 |
easy parking at NY 600 091 | George Gradwell | 12/08/2012 |
Half Term week at Ravenstonedale. Short outing w Lesley & Nick (& Betty the dog)from SE. Superb large pink granite boulders (erratics) lying by side of path on the limestone bedrock which was moved here by ice from a few miles away (some were transported to the Yorkshire coast). Also visited the top of Bousefiled Howe which may be close to p30m but no spot heights on 1:10000 to confirm drop. | Chris Pearson | 24/02/2012 |
With Jo, circular walk from Crosby Ravensworth: ancient sites in Oddendale area, then onto Coalpit Hill (good views of M6), returning via more ancient sites and Slack Randy. Weather; sunny with high intermittent clouds, warm, good visibility. | amblerbob | 03/08/2011 |
Up bridleway from B6261 then cut NW to trig & summit. | MorecambeMonkey | 14/02/2011 |
