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_alan | 12/05/2022 |
Parked on the road edge. A few steps to the summit. Shortest 'hill' ever! | LizH | 14/03/2022 |
Parked near crossroads at GR 960677, walked up lane to B6318 and along road to top. More satisfying than parking across the road!!! | IanHHill | 09/03/2022 |
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. | Jephcote83 | 15/02/2022 |
Drove up, pulled over, crossed to trig, climbed on base, touched top, returned to car - road very quiet! | SS | 16/10/2021 |
Either a very quick park to take a photo/touch the trig or park in a dedicated parking area half a mile to the west and walk back along footpaths | moorsman | 02/10/2021 |
With Jayne Whitaker on Hadrian's Way during leg from Chollerford to Iron Sign. | pwhitaker_1966 | 03/09/2021 |

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. | JamesJones | 16/03/2021 |
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. | KeithByTheC | 20/07/2020 |
