| From Cowshill up BP to Middlehope Burn, FP across road to follow wall onto ridge line. Good going on track to summit then pathless S to FP. FPs S of road at Lanehead were closed or nonexistent so detoured W to pick up the Weardale Way for return. | welshyboyo | 24/04/2024 |

| Parked at Lanehead and ran up to mining museum before taking the footpath opposite and climbing to the summit of Killhope Law. Then a descent to a derelict shooting hut, onto an unclear track before sharp right onto the bridleway. At the highest point, turned left and eventually made it to this unclear summit. Enjoyed the descent down to Lanehead. | madaddo | 04/06/2017 |
