| Visited during Day 20 of our Dales Circular walk from the end of the road above Hartley to Tan Hill Inn. Followed the C2C red route over Nine Standards and White Mossy Hill, to the famous Ravenseat farm, then along the public FP into Stonesdale, visiting the grassy Robert's Seat along the way.

| From Kirby Stephen on a beautiful June day: Nine Standards Rigg, White Mossy Hill and Nateby Common. With Hiking Manchester group. | Lazylizzie | 20/06/2021 |
| Parked on the B6270 south of Tailbridge Hill. Nice steady walk direct to the summit then minor path across the moor to the main path up to Nine Standards Rigg. Next came a cross-country there-and-back trek across the, thankfully bone-dry, heather and hags to Brownber Head, before finishing atop the featureless White Mossy Hill. | summitter | 19/06/2021 |
| From the B6270 along the RoW at NY809042. On to nine Standards joining the paved C2C path. | Eddie | 22/04/2021 |
| After bagging Nine Standards Rigg and popping over to see the stones I doubled back to bag this hill. The made the mistake of trying to head directly back to the car parked in the informal car park near Tailbridge Neck - much thrashing through heather and sinking into bogs ensued. Would have been better to retrace my steps back to the RoW and followed that back. | Wheelsy | 12/04/2021 |
| 21.6 miles 2350ft walk, start at Usha Gap campsite, follow Swaledale to Birk Dale track on right up Mould Gill to White Mossy Hill 659m and onto Nine Standards Rigg 662m Trig and Stones, east track too boggy so return to Coast to Coast path to Ravenseat and follow Swaledale back to Usha Gap campsite. | stephenbuda | 09/08/2020 |

| From Tailbridge Hill. Predictably boggy but nothing outrageous. Last fell of the day. Not the most inspiring day's walking but good to get some exercise on a rare dry day. | Wycombe Wanderer | 08/01/2020 |

| Descended over summit with Darren Royle on 13.88m Stage 6 of C2C(Red Route over Nine Standards Rig)from Kirkby Stephen to Keld. Horrendous bog slowing progress and causing many deviations but fine clear weather with view of tall skinny cairn which is target to intercept track to Ravenseat. | pwhitaker_1966 | 24/07/2017 |
| A walk on a fine evening from Nateby Common to White Mossy Hill, along the broad ridge to the summit of Nine Standards Rigg, the viewpoint cairn, the intriguingly multifarious nine standards themselves and west to the summit viewpoint of Tailbridge Hill. | Nick Down1 | 31/05/2017 |

| With Jo, walk from B6270 county boundary parking space: across Lady Bog (aptly named) to Nine Standards Rigg, then onto Brownber Head (two tops) (surprisingly dry), returning via NSR to White Mossy Hill then across Dukerdale Pots to Nateby Common (Tailbridge Hill). Weather; cloudy with sunny intervals, cool breeze on tops, good visibility. | amblerbob | 24/08/2014 |
