| We drove up Coquet Valley past Alwinton intending to climb up Windy Gyle with Ruth, however a Highways maintenance crew decided that they would block the single track road preventing me from getting to my original destination. I checked the map and we decided to climb up Shillhope Law from Shillmoor instead. All the way up we heard the sound of military guns firing from near Otterburn Barracks. It was steep all the way up and although it only took us 1hr to walk the 1.8 miles we both felt it in our legs. The views from top were decent. It rained slightly on the way back down but we were still in good spirits when we got back to the car. Miles walked: 3.8 miles 1hr and 45 mins. | JamesJones | 09/03/2021 |

| We took the track from Shillmoor over Copper Snout to Saughgy Hill, then a 4x4 track on to Nettlehope Hill, before joining a forestry track heading north through recently felled and newly planted plantation - popping out just shy of Yarnspath Law (heavy heather until reaching a fence line with side path). Westwards and over the Usway burn by a footbridge just north of height 345. Return route was along good tracks, taking in The Middle, Kyloe Shin (great name), Shillhope Law, and Inner Hill. Gentle decline back to the start. Lovely walk, 4 hrs. | summitter | 24/05/2019 |
