| Parked at the start of a Forest road leading off the A6088 at 67723 07264, this would take you to the communications tower but I branched off and headed for the trig once I had reached the top of the zig zag section, returning the same way. Five mile in Two hours. | WAYNE ROWLETT | 01/10/2023 |

| Up from carter bar lay by. Along good path to statue then steeply up bank. The long trudge to the pillar was reasonably dry today with evidence of peat restoration taking lace. Would be very wet earlier in the year. On arrival back at car leant my tyre pump to some motercyclstis who were repair g a puncture. Had a bacon roll from van whilst guys finished. | cjo | 21/05/2023 |
| 16:30, mist still down and temperature dropped to 7 degrees. Ascent via good path and spur to Carter Pike then beeline to summit. Couldn't see the white trig in the mist only 20 yards away. Descended by the border bog, less bad on the Scottish side. | Wycombe Wanderer | 12/05/2023 |

| As others - up from Carter Bar. Wet and windy with poor visibility. 1st of 3 Humps today. | benalder284 | 07/01/2023 |
| Up with the newish rebuilt cairn on Carter Pike and back down via the fence and bog. | Walker Dan | 09/11/2022 |
| From Carter Bar with Pete- route amply described by others. A hardly sloping section before the rise to the HP was particularly awkward. On the way down, more relaxed after winding our way round bogs and getting to the HP, we noted the matting we had carefully walked across in places was slowing down the flow of water and allowing bog pools to develop. Be careful not to damage the matting! Great views to The Cheviot in front, on the way down. | pwheeler | 12/09/2022 |

| From the parking at Carter Bar. Followed the border fence > Carter Fell. | JohnR | 20/12/2021 |
| Parked at Carter Bar. Along the boardwalk then took the small grass path after the gate. Lucky that the weather had been dry, so not much bog. Interesting work evident higher up to preserve the peat bog. | LizH | 08/06/2021 |

| Parked at the Carter Bar England/Scotland border viewpoint. There’s a nice boardwalk for the first 200mts. The public footpath heads further East then my route and I continued uphill. The initial steep ascent is wet but short lived and the ground is firm. On reaching the 544mts point the route changes and the ground is sodden. I stick to the border fence line but it’s very wet and I find myself jumping around to avoid the worst of the water. I could see the trig point in the distance and was pleased to finally get there. As I set off back towards the car park I decided to walk down the Northern side of the fence (Scotland) and this route was a lot drier. After about a km I jumped the fence back onto the English side to avoid the forestry pine trees. It was only just over an hour but my boots and feet were soaked through. | JamesJones | 26/03/2021 |
| From the border car park at Carter Bar. Up the track (under improvement crossing the boggy section) used for some distance gaining height as a strong westerly gale, then up over into the wind, hard work in the gale. 5/5 HuMP | N.Morters | 31/10/2020 |

| Run up from Carter Bar and the Border viewpoint. Was very boggy despite the relatively dry weather. Saw Hen Harrier, and was plagued by biting flies on the summit. Ran up mostly in Scotland and down in England. Time 40 minutes for 3 miles. | isabelle | 24/07/2020 |

| Carter Fell from top of pass at Carter Bar. Ascent along the border fence, return via Carter Pike and the public FP. Very misty and wet underfoot. A round trip of 7km with 200m ascent in 1h30m. (S) | silveracorn_alan | 10/07/2020 |
| From Carter Bar via Carter Pike. Good views of many hills. | ger | 06/07/2020 |
| Parked at Carter Bar (on the English side as Scotland was still under Covid-19 travel restrictions!). Alongside fence: once up the main slope, cross wooden railings to north side where there is a faint path. Boggy - a good one for the wellies. | PGCE | 02/07/2020 |
