| 1 of 2. Parking at coltsfoot gardens. It does get you into some interesting places does hill bagging. Today around a rough Gateshead estate | The-Z-Man | 02/01/2024 |

| Followed Moorsman advice, quick easy bag | matty1971b | 06/04/2023 |

| Yet more good advice from Moorsman. Contender for easiest and most urban HuMP. | Wycombe Wanderer | 20/01/2023 |
| Luckily my passenger was my wife who is beginning to understand. | lordtonult | 13/01/2023 |

| Parked on the road near the summit and walked across. | LizH | 13/03/2022 |

| Parked just below hill top, took the bus into Newcastle to meet friends, bus back to Gatesheed Interchange, then walked back to hill. | IanHHill | 10/03/2022 |

| Parked outside the care home and walked across the road. Solo. | Dangerous Dave | 02/01/2022 |
| I got the bus to this one - for committed baggers only. The SE viewpoint ten minutes walk away is worth doing - great views from there, which you can't exactly say about this hill. | Richard | 16/10/2021 |

| As per moorsman. Quick bag | Nicky C | 04/09/2021 |
| On Our Way Home from a week in Northumberland. Drove onto the summit and stepped out of the Car | Jephcote83 | 17/07/2021 |
| Another ascent of this unattractive hill, a part of a longer run in the Gateshead area. Actual summit behind a fence, but near enough. | Christo1979 | 11/07/2021 |
| Highest point, between the mast and the reservoir, is not accessible from the main road as route is blocked by high fencing. Aim for Bluebell Close where you can park directly alongside, but separated from, the summit. | moorsman | 25/10/2020 |

| Early evening walk in the dark from Newcastle city centre, taking in Redheugh Bridge on the way out and the Tyne Bridge on the way back. | campagvelocet | 02/01/2020 |

| Newcastle drive about and rest day. 2 of 5. Genuine drive up to reservoir and radio mast compound opposite care home. Ground within compound is higher but man made. Looks like highest point is ground next to SW wall behind lamp post | mntainman | 10/12/2019 |
| Large concrete parking area by resr compound. HP most likely by the compound gates, opposite care home. | jonglew | 31/08/2019 |

| By secure comms enclosure, near covered reservoir in Bluebell Gardens, opposite care home. Walked round adjacent residential streets and nothing higher. Not inspiring. | Denise | 17/03/2019 |
| We parked at the bottom of Bluebell Close in an attempt to make at least a token jesture of a walk of this hill. High point at gate to comms mast, or as good as. | RichardM | 17/03/2019 |
| Drive by, parked below the care home then up to enclosure wall... breezy | N.Morters | 23/10/2018 |
| Parked in front of gates to mast compound, a metre or so from the high point (fence junction). The banking against the wall is higher, but like the earthworks around the reservoir, it is man-made. (S) | gerrybowes | 24/09/2018 |

| Drove up and bagged on way home from work, reservoir wall makes the experience a little underwhelming. | mrs_ts7 | 27/12/2017 |
| Drove round Bluebell Close to both sides- it's one of those reservoirs that's about the same height at each end. Then saw Gateshead 1 Tranmere 0...times have changed since 5 years ago at Oldham Edge. | Pete R | 18/11/2017 |
| An easy revisit after Whitehills, that clearly a 'better' hill, at least for the view | nordicstar | 06/07/2017 |
