Parked at the end of Cheltenham road by Toolstation. You can wak around the side of the security gate as the fence only joins the gate on one side! The waste ground has been used for fly tipping but there is a path from the gate to the trig location almost. Used my gps to locate the site, walked round and round the trees and stomped down a lot of the weeds and brambles but still could not locate the trig. A lot more rubble has been dumped around that area. Reading more of the comments from the last 10 years, some have slightly different cords so I will try these tomorrow. Tried looking a second time, no luck. Looked around all the bushes / trees and brambles. Compared photo from Borderer with what's there now. The trig has either been removed or is under a pile of rubble. I will email Teesside museum to ask if they salvaged it.

Last of 6 today. Parked on the side of the A696 next to the wind farm entrance Kept to the tracks through the wind farm. No cross country today as i was battling gale force winds and driving rain so didnt want to deal with heather and moorland as well. Followed the map and signs in the wind farm to turbine A3 then onto the trig.

The V tree trunk has fallen over a little bit and is getting consumed by the others. As you walk along the track from the masts, pass the car park area and the wooden gate it is just before the first big tree. The trig is on a more or less direct line from here. There are a couple of fallen trees to negotiate. If you find your self climbing over and through lots of fallen trees then you have strayed off the faint path. Try to keep to the open area of grass and heather and walk round wind blown trees to the west of them, if you walk around to the east then you will be pushed further and further to the east and further away from the trig.

Same route as Nick & Rosie. The trees have got thicker so continued more to the north before eventually making it onto open ground. The moorland / bog / thick grass tussocks / hidden streams under the heather / sodden moss / bottomless holes nearly broke me but got there in the end. Alot of the fire breaks have been filled in with self sewn saplings. But the plantation to the north has been felled and the forest tracks can be reached with (relative) ease to continue on to Foulmire Heights.

My 2009 Explorer Map shows a walk noted as 'Bloody Bush & Larriston Fells Walk' which route takes you to the mast, then the trig and then back through the woodland to the forest roads. This path is no longer on any of the sign posts or the new maps. The path from the car park to the mast is good and clear.

Stopped at the gate into the trig field to speak to the game keeper about the hill. The earth works which are not on the map either side of spot height 173 are there so the Romans could monitor the track way which was purposely built with a curve at the top in that particular place to slow down incoming people. The trig sits in the middle of what would have been the Roman camp. On the right hand side of the gate going into the field there is a cut mark on the wall.

Parked at the end of westwood View. Followed the foot paths to the road, then up the other side. The foot path from the estate to the road is very over grown with brambles. The path up the other side of the road is quite over grown as well and can be easy to loose in places until you reach the track on the map. I would recommend parking in the housing estate to the north and walking a short distance along the busy road to the start of the track at NZ1352162922. Then follow this straight up to the trig. Much easier.

Last trig of the day and it would be twilight soon. Parked next to the finger post on the B6399. I didn't fancy walking up and through the fire break at NT5374501027 straight to the trig. Walked up the track to NT5422301404, the map shows a fire break but there is not one . . . but the conifers are planted far enough apart to walk in between them. The ground under foot is good going with no clump grass to break your ankle on. Trig is hiding amongst the young conifers, another couple of years and might find it hard to get to. Walked back down the large fire break heading SE to the track, there are a couple of distinctive animal tracks to follow.

Parked by the entrance to the reservoir. Wife got two feet from the road and turned around back to the car. Followed the edge of the fence of the compound and then found the stone wall which is the boundary on the map, if no sat nav, follow this until you meet another stone wall. Follow this to the derelict concrete structure, go round this on the road side and through the saplings is the trig!! Now . . .the felled woodland is full of brambles, the brash which has been left is rotten so if you step of it it may collapse into a water logged bog under it. There's a lot of ruts and deep holes covered by grasses. They have dug ditches through the area to drain it and use the soil for the new saplings, these are also covered by brash and grasses, some you can spot, some not so much. I landed flat on my face once and I'm usually like a cat.

Parked in the car park for the race track. A lot of young cattle around the track leading up, as this was where the ring feeder was and they don't like moving to far from the food! They were quite jumpy so made my way past West Leathans along the track and walked around the field to bring me around to the west side of the hill. Followed the sheep tracks up to the trig from here.

Logging is now in full flow at Dunter Law so the views may open up a bit. Route as most other people.

Walked up from Cocklawfoot. Thought my hearth was pounding in my ears till i took my earphones out and realised the army was rearranging Otterburn range. Very wet with snow melt with deep drifts still in place.

Fine day in borders for a walk. Parked at 613,637 then followed the quad track up to the trig point and came back via the burn, nice circle route.

Followed the path from The Staw to the corner of the field. Lots of Moooo loitering at the bottom of the field so made a tactical approach to keep out of there eye line.

Have done this one from every angle i can. The best for views into Northumberland and the coast is the Hedgehope horse shoe. The best for views into Scotland and the coast is to start in College Valley and walk via the mountain rescue hut on the border ridge.

Great views, done along with Bloodybush Edge. Misjudged the bog hopping, got wet but soon dried out!

Parked in Kirk Yetholm. Walked the 'easy route' section of the Pennine Way up to the Trig and then to the meeting point at Black Hag. Come back via the 'harder route' Pennine Way.

Bit of a trudge through the snow and back to Yeavering as the light went and the temp dropped but it was worth it.

Being so close to the Sandringham Estate it is not advisable to attempt to go along the track at the yard. Found a place to park and then, after much hunting found a gap in the tree's. Used a compass bearing and paced it out, spooked the deer as well.
