A hill, believe it or not. Visited while shopping for a couple of nights camping. | fasgadh | 30/05/2023 |
Parked at a co-op and crossed the street and past some pubs until we came near a house and the top was right there. Went with Dad. | speedyclimber | 28/05/2023 |
Hmmm. Happened to be in area so walked up from road down to A38 roundabout. A fair on the 'summit' area. | steveb2006 | 19/10/2022 |
Hard to say exactly where the natural HP of Ripley is but somewhere near the square/ road. There's a convenient carpark. Somewhat unsatisfying but an easy tick. | Denise | 13/10/2022 |
Pulled up beside summit and nipped out for a quick bag. | PGCE | 27/07/2022 |
Free parking on road next to main pay and display car park. Suprisingly this wasn't the worst summit of the day. | Nick Canute | 07/02/2022 |
Easy one to do in the dark, parked in small car park and walked to corner by tree. | PeterD | 08/10/2021 |

15:00, 22 degrees, brightly overcast, humid and calm. Flying ant day. With Bag For Life. | Wycombe Wanderer | 14/08/2021 |
The edge of the car park is about right. Not exactly mountaineering. | clivevilla | 28/01/2020 |

Accomplished whilst running with Ripley Jog Group | Stestag | 06/02/2019 |
Agree with Campbell Singer - stone kerb on car park edge. Road junction to east seemed lower to me. | carole engel | 31/12/2017 |
High point probably on small carpark. | David Evans | 27/12/2017 |
Parked up in the Council Office car park and had a quick mooch around the area. Highest point seems to be by the wall at the smaller car park just behind the Thorn Tree pub. | simonshrewsbury | 29/11/2017 |
Bagged while cycling from dewsbury to birmingham | The-Z-Man | 22/10/2017 |
Bagged whilst passing through Ripley. | Ramblingpaul | 16/10/2017 |
after 28 years of using the A38 as my route to and from York and Celtenham, I've finally remembered to detour off to Ripley where I recalled the town square car park just happened to be the highest point of a TuMP summit. here at last and pleased to find a Co-op food shop at garage coming up the hill from NW to spend £20 of food vouchers | vegibagger | 20/07/2017 |
A hill summit in a town centre car park. This was a really easy bag. | Neil Haslewood | 12/07/2017 |
Quick early morning wander on my way to the annual Rab sale in Somercotes. | DC11main | 08/07/2017 |
wandered round the town centre and car parks prior to ringing the bells at the parish church! | Hippo | 07/07/2017 |
Worked here for years and only just realised I could bag a hill - nice detour on my lunch break though | nell1583 | 01/06/2017 |
An 'Alpine start' from Birmingham for this one, summitted 09:30 by cycle on a grey and damp morning. Ground below lamp post at bend in Slack Lane seemed the high point. Car park kerb is higher but kerbs don't count. Celebrated the ascent with excellent bacon roll and coffee at Greggs in town centre. | RichardM | 07/02/2017 |
Could be car park or junction of South Place and Slack Lane. Felt a bit overdressed in walking gear and a rucksack. | Wheelsy | 02/09/2016 |
Called here on my way home from a walk at Ashover. Had a stroll around town centre whilst it was quiet. | Richard Gunn | 10/07/2016 |
Stone kerb on edge of car park. Parked 47 ms away and avoided busy traffic warden! | Campbell Singer | 15/06/2016 |
Visited high point and alternative spot height. No mountaineering here. | RobertP | 05/06/2016 |
Parked here when going to Council Tax office !! | Mypoorblisters | 04/11/2015 |
Found free parking a few streets away and walked along the roads that seemed the highest. | davidpettit84 | 26/09/2015 |
For 200 years Ripley has been home home of the Butterley engineering company whose work includes the arched roof of St.Pancras Station in London,and more recently The Falkirk Wheel and Spinnaker Tower, Portsmouth. Barnes Wallis was born in Ripley. | Chris Pearson | 09/08/2015 |
Cost me 50p for parking! | ngthack | 22/02/2015 |
Probably edge of carpark at South Place, or at junction of South Place with nearby Slack Lane. | Aye Jimmy | 24/01/2015 |
1st hill f four on walk from my house in Aspley, Nottingham to Matlock bath. Approached from Slack lane and wondered around the Thorn tree pub. Highest reading was in car park near edge however it looks like highest point might be just. behind the pub. | Dazingdale | 14/09/2014 |
A back street in Ripley - that's living the mountain high life! Actually I think Slack Lane might be slightly higher, or the council steps on the market place. Whichever - it's not exactly Everest... | DanHolme | 01/06/2013 |
167M, 3M, South Place car park edge as high as anything further S | RHW | 18/03/2012 |
