Another day collecting obscure North Pennine hills. There is a car park in Murton and a track leading up round to the east of Murton Fell. About a kilometre after passing Murton Fell I left the track for the pathless boggy plateau to find the top of Murton Pike. The well signposted edge of MoD land and a ltiny lake just by this are useful landmarks to find the top of this if, as today it was misty up here. The summit is an unprepossessing spot in this weather so I didn't linger but headed on down and up Murton Fell, a far shapelier hill. From a bit to the west of the summit I found a path leading fairly directly down, sometimes over very steep ground.
