| The Cheviot Group from Langleeford. A clockwise route around the dale head. Nice and dry peat underfoot, but still a big and tiring round, especially due to the bash through the heather out and back to new top for me, Great Standrop. The remainder all being revisits, Langlee Crags, Hedgehope Hill, Comb Fell, Cairn Hill, Cairn Hill West Top, Auchope Cairn, and finally back over the flagstones to The Cheviot. Windy but warm in the sun. 24km with 1300m ascent, taking me 7h 40m. | silverwolf_alan | 27/05/2023 |

| Solo Cheviot round with Hedgehope Hill | KatyT | 09/06/2022 |
| Langleeford (parking area) > Hawsen Burn > Scald Hill > The Cheviot > Cairn Hill > Comb Fell > Hegehope Hill > Long Crags > Housey Crags > Langleeford (parking area). Beautiful spring day, bit hazy but light winds and a nice temperature. This is a route for the purist, even following a dry spell, Comb Fell is a horror show from the top of the Harthope Valley to you start the accent of Headgehope. Hard work for the determine only. | johnkaysleftleg | 23/03/2022 |
| Walk from Greensidehill and ascent of Cunyan Crags to Dunmoor Hill, Hedgehope Hill and Comb Fell. Descent via Coldlaw Cairn, Shielcleugh Edge, High Cantle to High Bleakhope. Follow road/track back to main road at Hartside and back to Greensidehill. | raymooremanx | 02/11/2021 |
| 5 of 6: From Cairn Hill. With Karen. | ChrisR | 12/10/2021 |
| Parking at Hartside (NPBTP sign), Breamish valley, NT976162. Linhope, where challenged by gamekeeper (friendly) who gave me permission to access the FP/track trending WSW to meet the BW at NT954157 (perhaps one is expected to use the PF/BW via Alnhammoor?), then ATV TK from cattle grid on BW to top of Shill Moor. Descended fence N (rough veg, young trees growing on E side) to cattle grid, then up ATV TKs to Low Cantle, then largely no ground trail to High Cantle and Comb Fell, int. GT to Hedgehope Hill, unmapped int. waymarked PF to Dunmoor Hill, Cunyan Crags; hard to spot ground trail of BW SW near med. village, but improves as go SW to Linhope. | Isbjorn | 25/09/2021 |

| As Nuttall 8.1, but adding out-and-back to The Schil from Cairn Hill along the Pennine Way (adds 7 miles). The Cheviot > The Schil > Comb Fell > Hedgehope Hill. The extensive bogs on Comb Fell were quite dry after several dry weeks. Probably as good as it gets. | Peter_W_Mitchell | 18/06/2021 |

| From Hedgehope Hill. A swamp after weeks of rain, although going was easier to summit thanks to plastic matting. | peter4lc | 27/05/2021 |
| Langleeford (ample parking) > Cheviot > Comb Fell > Hedgehope > Langlee Crags > Langleeford. Swamp fest in the dip between Cheviot and Comb Fell so might be best attempted after a period of dry weather (unless you're into that sort of thing). | JohnR | 14/09/2020 |

| From Hedgehope Hill as part of the Cheviot Six 26mile hike. Worse hill in the Cheviots... 2+ miles of peat bog to negotiate. Went knee deep in the bog twice and slipped on my backside once and I'm an experienced walker of peat bogs. Just an awful hill - hated it last time, hated it more this time. Then to cap it off the heavens opened on me at the top.

| From arking area at end of road leading to Langleeford.Short walk up road to permisive path over Scald Hill to the Chevot. Then on to Cairn Hill with an out and back to Cairn Hill West Top and Auchope Cairn. Descent then to Harthope Burn then rough going up to Comb Fell in and out of ditches and ankle deep bog. Easier going down and up to Hedgehope Hill before descending back to car via a climb up Hosey Crags. | mart0797 | 02/07/2019 |

| Parked at Langlee, then did Langlee Crags and Hedgehope Hill. Path to Comb Fell would have been quite boggy if it had not been frozen - definitely one to leave until either a very cold spell or a very dry spell. | Wheelsy | 03/01/2019 |
| Pretty desolate | Ruth | 25/11/2018 |
