A very quick stop to touch the trig and bag Whittington Fell, as awkward parking on this very fast B road. On the way back to the caravan at River Breamish camp site.silveracorn_alan12/05/2022
Parked on the road edge. A few steps to the summit. Shortest 'hill' ever!LizH14/03/2022
Parked near crossroads at GR 960677, walked up lane to B6318 and along road to top. More satisfying than parking across the road!!!IanHHill09/03/2022
Off Road Parking area at the start of the Bridleway to the West. Lots of Trees down from Storm Arwen making the Hadrians Wall Path impassable so instead Skirted to the south of them, then over the low wall to the Trig on the other side.Jephcote8315/02/2022
Drove up, pulled over, crossed to trig, climbed on base, touched top, returned to car - road very quiet!SS16/10/2021

This trig point is located on a grass verge at the side of the B6318, got out of the car and walked about 30mts. Embarrassed at how easy this is too reach.JamesJones16/03/2021
along path through the woods from track 550 metres to the west to avoid fast traffic. Can clamber over wall to trig point next to road, or over gate halfway along and brave the oncoming traffic. KeithByTheC20/07/2020

Easy parking in wide entrance to Stanley Plantation at 967691 - E. along Hadrian’s Wall Path for 600m & then over wall by trig point. A couple of conveniently placed tie stones make for an easy crossing; almost a step stile. (S)gerrybowes26/09/2018
