From just N of Alnwick Bridge on Crow Road - good pull-in for a few cars (NS 6242 8082). Up onto Lecket Hill first, then across to here on a quad track, a bit soggy in places, but ok. Across to the trig pillar and returned via Lecket Hill. | jonglew | 30/08/2023 |

From Lecket Hill there is an ATV track and then an intermittent track to the summit. It is best to do this after a dry spell as the boggy areas could be tedious. Solo. | bolton | 20/05/2023 |
From the car park on B822 (Crow road. Car park busy with dog walkers, double decker bus and plenty of people wielding cameras.. 
I followed the Cort ma law loop walk up to Cort ma law trig point and then spurred of to the the east top. On to Lecket hill and back to the car park. The route was extremely boggy in lots of places. Started off sunny but the wind was strong and the predicted rain arrived to ensure it was wet! | Buck | 03/02/2023 |

From the car park on B822 (Crow road) followed the Cort ma law loop walk five and three quarter miles in length and when I came of Cort ma law trig point spured of to the the east top. The loop marked on maps can be difficult to see on the ground at times and was extremely boggy in lots of places. Three and half hours. | WAYNE ROWLETT | 02/08/2018 |

Excellent views on sunny day but deep snow made the approach from Lecket Hill difficult and high winds meant drifting snow formed a virtual snowstorm at times. Climbed from West past at least 30 sledgers on the path by the road. | andy | 07/02/2009 |
