| Success at 2nd attempt previously failed because i was wearing winter walking gear when a pair of speedos might have been a better choice. | colinfielding | 27/07/2022 |

| With Sue and NB from carpark, followed wall then fence to Black Hill, Westernhope Moor, and Outberry Plain not as bad as described some new quad track in some places. Had all seasons with a biting cold wind. | Frank | 04/05/2021 |
| Can up from Bollihope Carrs followed the fence line. Very boggy and if you go along to Trig point that is a bit damaged. | 2510chris | 19/02/2021 |
| Black Hill, Westernhope Moor, and Outberry Plain from high point on very minor road. A bit of a big trot, particularly on from Westernhope. Not very inspiring! With B and R. | jenx | 22/11/2020 |

| From Westernhope Moor. More about the challenge than the scenery. Back to Swinhope Head. 2 hours. | Wycombe Wanderer | 18/01/2020 |
| From cattle grid at Swinhope Head: Black Hill -> Westernhope Moor -> Outberry Plain. Then retraced steps back to car before attacking hills on other side of the road. Rough ground from Westernhope to Outberry, mainly peat hags, worse on other side of road though. | jonglew | 02/09/2019 |
| From cattle grid on minor road to west. Out and back to Black Hill,Westernhope Moor and Outberry Plain. The walk from Westernhope to Outberry was terrible. In and out and over peat hacs ditches and bogs. | mart0797 | 08/08/2019 |

| Onto this one from Westernhope Moor through the bogs and peat hags to a non-descript summit but with some great views when its a clear day, I guess | madaddo | 29/09/2017 |
| Out and back from Westernhope Moor to a very non descript summit. | Alan Caine | 25/06/2017 |
| From Swinhope Head via Black Hill and Westernhope Moor. | Fisky Boy | 03/06/2017 |
| With Fisky Boy. | Brenda Cloke | 03/06/2017 |
| Parked at the top of the pass at Swinhope Head with GB. Over Black Hill and Westernmore to Outberry. The bird murderers wooden enhanced track from the summit of Westermore is useful for a few hundred yards before following the fence to the summit. Not as bad underfoot as we thought. | bolton | 25/09/2015 |
| Parking area by cattle grid at Swinhope Head 898332 Followed fence to Black Hill & Westernhope Moor E. along wooden trackway & then NE alongside fence to unmarked summit. (PM) | gerrybowes | 25/09/2015 |
| From disused mine to south. Left track at c.550m to avoid heather. Easy grass until heathery moorland (not that boggy) is reached for the the last 1/2 mile. | mae | 04/05/2015 |
| Slog along the fence from Westernhope Moor and back. Not a lot of fun - would be dire after a spell of wet weather. | Crib Goch | 03/09/2014 |
| Nuttall Route. Chapelfell Top, Fendrith Hill, Black Hill, Westernhope Moor, Outberry Plain. The cairn is clearly not the summit, and to be honest I can't understand why anyone would put one in such an unauspicious spot. Follow the fence until you are sure you are going downhill again then return as being the only way to be certain you hit the top as there's no way to know exactly where it is. | ijpowell | 20/06/2014 |
| From Swinhope Head, out and back over Black Hill, Westernhope Moor and Outberry Plain. | rhalstead | 19/04/2014 |
| From Black Hill then Westernhope, easy for 300m along wooden planking then a tiring section of peat hags, with the return journey to look forward to... Summit is small cairn on insignificant grassy knoll, but looks higher about 20m further on, near the fence. Or indeed on the other side of the fence to the S. | Aye Jimmy | 05/07/2013 |
| Fifth 'summit' of the day at 10.45am. First 0.45km from Westernhope is easy thanks to the grouse-feeder's jeep track but then the peat hags start. Easiest route is by the fence! Not the most memorable top of the day! | signyred | 24/08/2011 |
| Bollihope round-deep snow all the way. | peebs | 04/03/2010 |

Weather, sunny, warm breeze, very good visibility. | amblerbob | 11/09/2007 |
| No idea as to the actual date, but completed this one as part of my walk along the Weardale watershed. | moorsman | 09/09/1999 |

| From Swinhope Head road top, also Black Hill and Outberry plain tops (Bridges) | nordicstar | 16/01/1998 |
| Solo. Heathery and / or boggy flat moorland requiring a determined effort for 5 Bridge tops. Grouse beating and shooting not far away (just past the 'glorious' 12th). Just pleased I had'nt brought any friends here - and now we walk back. | Chris Pearson | 16/08/1997 |
