1/7 Parked at Buckham's Bridge CP, to do a circular walk visiting Fullhope Edge and Bell Hill, both available as no firing in lambing season. Unfortunately, Whar Moor was closed due to deer stalking. Then down to Blindburn, before following the quad bike track / bridleway over Yearning Law to the mountain refuge hut. Then hopping between England and Scotland along the border fence picking up Raeshaw Fell and Blackhall Hill. Left the border just before Brownhart Law (previously summited) to head ENE along the bridleway across Deel's Hill and back to Buckhams Bridge. A splendid high level route, with only one major descent and re-ascent at Blindburn. Very grey and windy all day. 21km with 890m ascent, taking 5h 20m. | silveracorn_alan | 13/05/2022 |
With Jo, from Buckham’s Bridge cp: across Blindburn Bridge to track south before crossing stile to track in Carshope Plantation to Whar Moor. Then track onto Bell Hill and then followed vague paths onto Fulhope Edge, before following another vague path NW directly to Buckham’s Bridge. Weather; sunny, cold wind, good visibility. | amblerbob | 24/04/2021 |
From Buckham Bridge then onto Bell Hill > Whar Moor | Andrew Simmons | 24/04/2021 |
From parking at Buckham's Bridge. Up the shoulder of the hill on the W of Cat Cleugh and round > Fulhope Edge. SSE to the head of Gable Burn then ENE > Bell Hill (sparcely planted with trees). Then easy forest roads (dense forest) > Whar Moor. Not planted at the very top so easy access from the forest track. Easy forest tracks down to the foot bridge at Blindburn and back along the road to the parking. 
Check https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/otterburn-firing-times before venturing onto the ranges. | JohnR | 03/04/2021 |

Parked near Buckham's Bridge which was built in 1955. Direct route to Fulhope Edge then off-piste route across to Bell Hill before heading down to the obvious track to the summit of What Hill. Then return on this track and descent towards Gable Burn which is crossed. Then along towards Blindburn Farm to use the bridge to cross the Coquet just as it started to rain. Ran along the road back to my car. | Dugswell2 | 10/05/2018 |
Route 1 from Fulhope. | Wycombe Wanderer | 27/08/2017 |
Directly SW from Whar Moor, with very steep reascent up NE side of Fulhope, not recommended. Continued circuit to Bell Hill, now in the mist. | Aye Jimmy | 30/05/2016 |

On own. Circular walk from Buckhams Bridge CP - Thirl Moor - Fulhope Edge - Whar Moor - Bell Hill - Tindale Law and back along road 12 miles, 2400ft 6 hours. Ranges closed for lambing so great chance for an extended wander on these hills - saw no-one else all day. | Crib Goch | 06/05/2014 |
