Chris Faulkner walked up Flinty Fell on July 31st, 2022 [from/via/route] Nenthead [with] Michelle Chandler [weather] Sunny, muggy. - Quickest summit in the history of summit bagging!

Mark Davidson climbed Flinty Fell on July 21st, 2008 [from/via/route] Walk c441 Flinty Fell from Nenthead [with] Alone [weather] Nice & sunny - good museum at Nenthead

Caroline Winter bagged Flinty Fell on August 20th, 2021 [from/via/route] Parked on B road from Nenthead, path through woodland, Flinty Fell [with] Becky [weather] Drizzly - Best part was woodland; very serene. No visible marker on Flinty Fell. Would have been easier to find by pacing from fence at edge of wood.

Kevin Foster hiked Flinty Fell on October 10th, 2018 [from/via/route] Walk c441 from Nenthead. [with] Henry. [weather] Glorious autumn sunshine. - I had my lunch break by a broken stone wall near the summit with a working quarry to my left. The position of the OS spot height of 614 is incorrect as there is certainly higher ground & a prominent cairn to the north. The highest point is either of two mounds jutting up from the heather moor. The northeast one has a cairn & grand views north eastward towards Killhope cross road summit. The northwest one is probably the highest part of the fell but is unmarked. A lovely descent down the fellside back towards Nenthead takes you along the enchanting wooded ravine of Dowgang Hush (not to be missed).

Darren Mortimer summited Flinty Fell on October 8th, 2017 [from/via/route] Nenthead [with] Dermot Palmer [weather] Nice warm sunny day

Christine Shepherd conquered Flinty Fell on October 2nd, 2016 [from/via/route] Walked from Nenthead Mining Centre using walk c441 [with] On my own [weather] Sunny & clear - A lovely Sunday afternoon stroll. Take care, once you leave the path, there are a lot of drainage channels running across the moor. You could end up with very wet feet!

Ray O'hara scaled Flinty Fell on August 21st, 2012 [from/via/route] Just walked in from the 'minor road to Garrigill' from walk C441 [weather] Overcast - Nice views across to Great Dunn Fell & Cross Fell
