Followed the bridleway from Haggs Bank to the ridge then over the bogs (not too bad) to the summit. Back via Isaacs Tea trail as a round trip. Best of the afternoon after a torrential morning.dchill0105/08/2023

Easy out and back. The summit is a nothing burger. Choose your high point and get back to more interesting things.Donpeblo29/05/2023

Seemed positively pleasant after wretched Killhope Law. The north Pennines are not my favourite hills but they are peaceful.Wycombe Wanderer28/08/2022
Parking at Sunnyside/Coalcleugh. Followed Isaac's Tea Trail to the wall at the brow of the hill then N on a feint track along the wall. Good sized cairn, but true top on featureless ground; GPS necessary to check you're standing on the supposed high point. Terrible weather, rain and high winds. Retreated to the car to do other Nuttalls via the drive by method.Lazylizzie24/08/2022

Variation on Nuttall walk 10.2 from CP at highpoint on A689.Longwojo16/07/2022
A hot sunny day but just enough breeze to keep it comfortable. From junction at Black Hill to The Dodd. No real path but easy going. Parked at674493 on A689. Not ideal, half on road, half on verge but nowhere better. With hindsight I would have been better going through gate there and straight up onto the ridge but I opted to head north to the track but then immediately left it on an ATV. No problems and on return came straight down to gate opposite cardickscroop11/07/2022

Having re-supplied in Nenthead on day 5 of a 6 day backpack, I climbed out of the village to tick off The Dodd. The last half mile was really quite tough as the heather was quite deep. Great views and very peaceful.morgs4mountains25/03/2022

From nenthead via isaacs tea trail. Bit of a nondescript hill!emily17/09/2021
Parking at Sunnyside. Followed Isaac's Tea Trail to the wall at the brow of the hill then N on a feint track along the wall. Featureless top; nothing stands out so you'll need GPS to know you're standing on the supposed high point.JohnR13/09/2021

From pt.609 on the C road (NY794444), not recommended. The ATV track is useful for all of 50 metres to a ‘gate’ that isn’t. Then a faint rough path follows E side of fence until it handrails one into a quacking mass of The Swamp, where it disappears; here, Terra Firma is available on the W side of the fence. An ATV track starts at the wall/PF junction and goes N to the wall corner, from where the final 300 metres is over peat hags, tussock grass and bogsIsbjorn28/08/2021

Start at Grid 799432. Cross the road and follow the fence line up to The Dodd. From there return along the fence line and head for Killhope avoiding most of the peat hags.smocks and denims17/12/2020
