A great walk on a lovely day. From Murton car park, up the track and the good path to the top. Continued on the path around the head of Gasdale (just below the MoD warning signs) to the lead/barytes mine. | Gill | 16/10/2023 |

Circular route from Dufton, starting along Pennine Way to High Cup Nick. On to Murton Fell (didn't include B&L top) then Murton Pike, down to Murton. Return along road then section of A Pennine Journey bridleway back to start. Cold but relatively calm, clouds above the tops. | RobertP | 05/03/2023 |
On a Warcop public access day. Parked at Murton and walked clockwise around a circular course picking up 3 as yet unclimbed Nuttalls and my last English Dewey. Once on the Warcop estate I only saw a farmer with his sheep, oh, and one bit of ammo hanging on a fence. I visited Murton Pike, Murton Fell (summit and B+L top), Little Fell (summit and the sadly damaged trig), Tinside Rigg, Long Fell, and Roman Fell (my final English Dewey). Altogether nearly 24km with 880m ascent taking me 7h 30m. | silverwolf_alan | 04/03/2023 |

Lovely hill easy pull up from Murton | Fellhugger | 28/09/2020 |
A day of plausible denial. From Hilton. Conflicting MoD indicators MoD flags not flying, lights not lit, barriers down. Along waymarked track SE to plantation, then up track to Long Fell mines; gunfire below. Up Roman Fell from col at NY761200, purgatorial veg; on to Tinside Rigg, tough veg. Bit of a path just before and after bridleway from Christy Bank, then ATV track to Little Fell. Corroded unexploded ordnance aplenty. From Little Fell a promising ATV track was abandoned several times as it kept veering off rather than going direct to Scorsdale Head, from which an ATV track sidles up SW along line of white posts to S top of Murton Fell, then its ruffntuff N to the summit of Murton Fell. Ruffntuff down to the mapped PF at the shelters. Down at the Murton CP, MoD display board says the area is off limits 6.5 days a week (access only after 13:00 on Sundays), with access to Little Fell only in escorted groups in July; there is no similar display board at Hilton hence PD | Isbjorn | 25/08/2020 |

An iconic beauty to this hill. We skirted round gaining height and overshooting onto Murton Fell. As the cloud came in we retreated to bag the Murton Pike summit on our return with its impressively WHITE trig. I have a soft spot (first house I ever lived in was Murton Drive Sale). | briandavies | 14/10/2018 |

Last of the day and the best by far! From Murton Fell, long descent then short steep finish. Was 'bonxied' by two buzzards! - never known that before, perhaps there were young ones about? Dazzlingly white trig on top and fine viewpoint. | Aye Jimmy | 07/07/2013 |

There is parking area at the end of the road through Murton, shortly after it stops being metalled. The main track via Sweety Brighstone makes very easy ascent and descent. It is possible to find a direct route up the main face but this is probably slower than the main route due to its steepness. | moorsman | 04/11/2012 |
