| A curving route using row from Adderley Farm to keep out of sight of farm but in full view of thousands of M6 travllers - none of whom would notice -unless a child playing i-spy on the motorway and needing to spot a hill bagger (unlikely) if i-spy books still exist - which I doubt as all apps and no looking out the window these days. The M6 was forced to swerve around this hill during construction in 1960s adding an extra half mile at £15M in today's money. In fact they chose badly going through Waltons Wood as they hit an old slip plane and their embankment failed during construction. It cost a lot to fix (£600K in 1960s),raised questions in parliament, made it into a list of significant engineering construction failures in the UK and retrospectively enhanced an understanding of soil and clay landslips. | Chris Pearson | 24/03/2022 |
| Parked at 77474 47940 for both the Gladings and Heighley Hill. | clivevilla | 26/02/2020 |
| From Heighley Bank. Descent through trees to lane and along margins to squelchy top field. Another one of the tree transmitters up here.. I didnt notice it until practically underneath it so I guess they work!. The track through the forestry does not exist. Not really sure its worth the visit given its an un now. | stig_nest | 31/03/2017 |
| ROW to north east past Adderley Bank then back south up field to avoid worst of wood | Mark Sims | 18/02/2017 |
| Silverdale to Keele. After unpleasant thrash through the brambly open access woodland, I'm disappointed to learn that this is now a deleted Tump. Rather than repeat the thrash I opted to descend via fields NNE to ROW at cattle creep beneath M6. | Smudge | 02/01/2017 |
| Parked at SJ 77547 47605 for both Heighley Hill and The Gladdings. For The Gladdings followed easterly farm road then path to M6. Kept to blind side of farm until appearing on flattish summit. | David Evans | 14/11/2016 |
| Same starting point as GA, f/p towards M6 until fence reached, up this to field with masts (one mast pretending to be a pine tree). Highest point about 80m before masts to N. | Aye Jimmy | 25/03/2016 |
| From Adderley Green along f/p east to M6. Up past small phone mast, over two gates, to summit just before two large masts. | ngthack | 15/07/2015 |
| A familiar distinctive stretch of M6 I've travelled many times years ago while living in Staffs, so decided to approach hill from S alongside M6. Generally bad idea with fallen trees and substantial stream to cross (used fallen tree just before path crosses under M6). Return SSW along ridge is brambly lower down. From NW doubtless easier. Decent hill, listed as a P30 until recently. | RHW | 24/01/2015 |
| Only visited this P28, because it was the last unlogged top in Staffordshire, and I had just done Bar Hill. Parked at 779477. Actually it felt more like a hill than many of the Tumps I have visited recently. | GordonAdshead | 21/01/2015 |
