Pleased to see Carole's Belgian flag replaced with Ukrainian one. | Martin R | 23/05/2022 |
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. | DanTrig | 25/03/2022 |

Parked in lay-by opposite house with Belgium flag (NU 0323 0278). Good tracks/paths, last 100m deep heather | carole engel | 17/08/2019 |
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. | moorsman | 31/07/2019 |
Hot day. Bagged during circular walk from Debdon wood FC carpark. | Argentum66 | 01/06/2018 |

From Rothbury to Cartington Hill along the sandstone way | Moorponder | 12/07/2017 |
F/p from WSW across pasture until it intersects large track, which leads close to top - a boulder surrounded by deep heather. Also visited the white dot on skyline of adjacent hill, the trig BSM 3547. | Aye Jimmy | 24/04/2016 |
