Drove to end of track 600m W of top. On the approach NT 86188 05076 does look higher but my phone says its 3m lower than the 379m spot height. Maybe if someone has a device more accurate than a phone....?JohnR19/04/2021
Left the car @NT85608~04814 near clapped out tank! Checked various tops whole area has been pot marked with shelling particularly NT86188~05076 were they have scored a direct hit on the high pointAndrew Simmons02/04/2021
Agree with Crib Goch - NT 86188 05076 highest spot and very obvious on approach from west. Track to west (Jock's Knowe Road) drive-able with care. Tracks good to NT 854 028 and again from NT 848 061carole engel20/07/2019
With Jo, tracks from Kyloe Road passing various military hardware to Crigdon Hill's various high points, then returning along tracks to Ridlees Cairn. Weather; sunny, warm with good visibility.amblerbob06/05/2018
By bike from where the Redesdale Camp was along with Ridlees Cairn (Christmas shutdown) Unsure as to which bump is the highest - money is on the middle (spot height ) one.fasgadh30/12/2016
Drove to about 600m from top through scenery reminiscent of a war film - destroyed tanks everywhere! Three high points noted, the nicest to the NW by a few rocks; the mid one grassy near a pool; the SE one peaty and heavily cratered by the MoD - even the very summit's got a crater!Aye Jimmy08/05/2016
Roads open to the public when no shooting taking place. Drivable all the way to the junction at the start of the track to the south. Limited parking there but no other vehicles seen. 10 minutes to the top but which is the top? As the OS has a spot height of 379m anything higher would be on or within a 380m contour ... which nowhere is. I took the OS map top, but visited the other bump just in case!moorsman31/07/2015
Drove most of way to summit, doable but a bit rough and not a great idea. Did both summits. With Lucy Feltham ( http://alphabetbritain.com/ ).RHW08/11/2014

From road across Otterburn Ranges - no red flags today. Surfaced track {Jock's Knowe road] going north off main drag, passes among a host of bombed out tanks to rough track half a mile west of summit. The 379m spot height is at NT86101 05289, but there is a bump just to the south at 86189,05073 which appeared higher to me.Crib Goch23/03/2014
