From WSW. Parked on Glebeland Road, close to start of path by old mining wagon & noticeboard - Followed path to summit clearing where there are metal benches, a couple of picnic tables & lots of litter. | gerrybowes | 29/12/2023 |
Easy stroll in the park. Pity about the messy summit area | Colin Crawford | 20/11/2023 |
Quick summit while passing through Stoke :-) | AJH | 07/10/2023 |
Simple ascent from Glebedale Road. Some overgrown tracks lead to a summit with benches. View obscured by vegetation and marred by litter | Vulcan | 30/09/2023 |
Parked on car park at went on path past minecart past some people in a tent then up a hill to top. With Dad. | speedyclimber | 23/09/2023 |
1st of 5 hills today. Parked near Glebedale court and then did a circuit via paths, some a bit overgrown, past nice woodland somewhat marred by the strewn underwear activities of a salubrious nature have taken place in these parts. Summit near one side of the path. Some nice dwarf daffodils brightened up the area. Onwards path led to descent and easy route back to the start. Afterwards drove near to Long Edge... | Dazingdale | 18/03/2023 |
Slightly overgrown tracks, lead to a litter strewn summit with picnic tables. A shame as could be a nice place. | cjo | 29/05/2022 |
From glebedale court | Longwojo | 02/04/2022 |
Easy wooded ascent from large parking area next to Glebedale Court. | Wycombe Wanderer | 17/10/2021 |
With Pete- we thought this was quite nice, paths with steps to traverse the summit, lots of asters and an interesting assortment of trees and shrubs. Litter on top- grrr. A signboard points out this hill was always a local landmark, ugly when it was a towering slag heap. Part of the reclamation was to remove the top 40 ft- another 5 and it wouldn't have been a Tump! | pwheeler | 25/09/2021 |
Good use of time awaiting a new windscreen! | BaggerGutt | 02/01/2021 |
Best hill of the five. | Play2End | 06/07/2020 |
4 of 15 on 45 mile bike ride. Up through footpath from glebedale road. Someone had had a good drink up here. Empty cans everywhere | The-Z-Man | 31/12/2019 |
Overgrown path on NW side of hill reached the litter strewn summit with picnic tables and benches.Fairly uninspiring but not quite as bleak as Nigel's photo suggests. | RichardM | 13/08/2019 |
From SJ 8922 4419. Narrow woodland tracks to top. Popular place for local youths! | jonglew | 08/08/2019 |
Took route to the right of small metal bridge. Path visible but doesn't appear to be maintained. Decent enough views but you are able too see more in the Winter when the trees are bare. | iron_sun | 09/07/2019 |
Parked in road below. Multiple paths which don't seem well looked after. Summit trashed with broken glass...a shame. | ironwolf | 09/07/2019 |
With my dad. | TLBW | 17/04/2019 |
Parked on Christchurch Street and followed the obvious stepped path up to the summit which was spoilt by lots of litter and broken glass. Walked with Toby. | Wheelsy | 17/04/2019 |
Parked at end of Glebedale Road and took trail to summit. | Ramblingpaul | 15/10/2018 |
From SOT station and back | Andrew Pearson | 06/09/2018 |
With Evie and Tol. Parked to W on rough ground N of railway line. Short walk to summit. Mostly litter free on my visit although path partly overgrown. 40m ascent. | RoguePulsar | 27/08/2018 |
From NW, good paths | RobertP | 15/07/2018 |
From Glebedale Road to WNW. Obvious path upwards in the snow. | clivevilla | 15/12/2017 |
Ascent from NW as AJ. Descent to SW on good tracks to rail bridge over road, then returned on 'black pad' to Longton station. | Moorponder | 10/08/2017 |
Easy ascent from the NW, parking in Glebedale Rd. | Aye Jimmy | 04/05/2017 |
From the NW. An excellent example of why man-made hills are worth including. | summitsup | 01/05/2017 |
Past flats and up hill. Minor variation on return via stepped path. Good view of Brittania stadium. | Bramley | 28/04/2017 |
Completed Staffs today but warmed up with a couple in Stoke on way . This one ok except for broken seats on top. | Mark Sims | 15/04/2017 |
I'm still not sure about these artifical hills.. on one hand I think that anything that has appeared in living memory really shouldn't count..then again I think of A.W. who single handedly has compelled folk to climb Mung Common and Armboth Fell.. So I don't know. Parked at the bottom and was up this one in little more than 5 minutes. It's a dump to be quite frank. I suppose the good folk of S.O.T. might organise a clean up sometime. | stig_nest | 27/03/2017 |
From estate road below. | rhalstead | 26/03/2017 |
As for others. | arranc | 20/02/2017 |
I can see why the teenagers like this spot - a good viewpoint to see from, but not be seen! Nice view of Fenton Low, somewhere I used to spend a lot of time walking when I was at uni in Stoke. This hill made for a pleasant afternoon in the sunshine. | DanHolme | 13/02/2017 |
From W, well made paths to a popular albeit scruffy summit, nicely landscaped hill. Stoke On Trent recompleted - again. A BADL - quite rare and duly prized :-D | RHW | 12/02/2017 |
Bagged with Paul Webster on a foggy afternoon and a BBRW. Then off to complete Stoke's five Tumps on Chatterley Whitfield Hill. | Dugswell2 | 30/12/2016 |
Diversion off M6 to bag the two new tumps and re-completed the SOT Collection. Parked near flats to SW and direct to top along narrow track. | PeterD | 30/12/2016 |
Parked in Glebedale Rd, walked past flats and straight up. Pleasant summit spoiled by empty cans and bottles. Third time I have completed S on T this year. Do the Tamperers have links with the S on T tourist board? | Campbell Singer | 29/12/2016 |
Plenty of parking to west. Rubbish tip at the top! | Alan Caine | 28/12/2016 |
Could not keep away to recomplete Stoke. Not a bad little point. | GordonAdshead | 27/12/2016 |
The reclamation scheme of this hill was when it was known as Fenton Colliery Tip and was inaugurated by Prime Minister Edward Heath in 1971 and finished less than 2 years later. I went straight up the SW flank in about 7 minutes -the same time as it takes to play one of the 3 classical music scores written by Vic Carnell -Opus 10, 1, 2 and 3 (sunrise, sunset and nocturnal) very oddly called Glebedale Park Hill and first played in 2010 in the Victoria Hall, Stoke, - making this truly a'classic' hill! Sadly the summit benches and picnic tables have clearly become a magnet for teenage drinking binges - their abandoned beer cans and rubbish being an extra 'tip on a tip', and if they ever grass over could probably add a good chunk to the TuMP height? Stoke 5 detour complete so back to the M6 to continue the long drive back to Sussex. | Chris Pearson | 21/12/2016 |
Visited after Chatterley Whitfield survey. Parking and zig zag as David. Summit area needs a clean up, if the next bagger fancies taking a rubbish bag. | ngthack | 13/12/2016 |
I went up this old spoil heap a few times about 32 years ago when I worked in nearby Duke Street. (The site of my old works is now part of the Victoria Place Link). I recently drove through this area while showing my family the site of my former works and my TuMPometer was immediately set off when I saw the now wooded hill. A visit on December 12th confirmed the TuMP potential. Plenty of parking at SJ 89416 44186. I followed the, at first, slowly rising footpath around the southern side of the hill, which later zig zags towards the summit. | David Evans | 12/12/2016 |
