Track through the forest from the north, visited both areas.robertphillips18/02/2023
Pleased to see Carole's Belgian flag replaced with Ukrainian one.Martin R23/05/2022
Nice early morning walk from Rothbury. Up track out of town and onto open moors with easy trails the majority of the way. The summit is only a small heather bash off the track, the cairn marked on map is pretty pathetic. We visited the perfect condition trig afterwards and followed trail not marked on map along forest boundary to Coplish Burn back down path into town. 199m ascent overall. Spring-like conditions with nice views towards The Cheviot.DanTrig25/03/2022

Parked in lay-by opposite house with Belgium flag (NU 0323 0278). Good tracks/paths, last 100m deep heathercarole engel17/08/2019
Parking on Blaeberry Hill, Rothbury, at the start of the footpath towards the open access (alt 169m). Upon reaching the open access a good path leads NW then W to join the main path, thereby cutting off a large corner. Easy walk from here along a good path, but, don't forget you are looking for the hill after the trig point! 4.26km return. About an hour.moorsman31/07/2019
Hot day. Bagged during circular walk from Debdon wood FC carpark.Argentum6601/06/2018
