| Cold Law, Broadhope Hill, Preston Hill, Hare Hill, Newton Tors and Coldburn Hill from Langleeford. Bagging 3 Deweys. Gale force winds and sodden underfoot added to the feeling of remoteness of this far northern corner of England. 21km in 6h20m. (S) | silveracorn_alan | 06/07/2020 |

| very hot day, from Hare Law a bit boggy but fairly easy as I followed a few ATV tracks. I ascended the northern flank watched by a herd of cows. Twin cairns slighty confused me in my heat stroke state - which to choose? Descended NW to Southernknowe and back on the road to Hethpool. | Jhimmy | 25/07/2019 |

| From Hethpool, with Jenx and Bryher. Down the College valley road on foot, super sunny autumn day. Right round to Goldscleugh (could drive here) and direct up Preston hill beside felled plantation. Then the fence line to col, Coldburn Hill then more roughly across to track leading over Hare Law and Newton Tor. Fine views all around, steeply down wall line then fence to Hethpool bridge and car. | nordicstar | 26/09/2017 |

| It really saves a lot a time if you purchase a pass to enter the valley. These are available in advance from the estate agent in Wooler (search for ......... pass college valley). This allows parking alongside Coldburn Farm where a tractor track leads up to the col. Under an hour return walk from here. | moorsman | 29/07/2015 |
