Included this trig in a circular walk from Baybridge car park via Newbiggin and Hunstanworth. Weather threatening all day, but only time rained was when reached trig. Views spoilt by poor visibility.

Parked in Baybridge picnic area then walked footpath route through Newbiggin and out towards Middle Plantation. Turning north just before the plantation onto a shooters track. Then at the top corner of the now felled plantation to follow a faint track through the heather to the trig point.

My second visit, this time with my friend Paddy Kane. We met up at Blanchland and left my car a mile to the W at Baybridge, then drove in his to the Byerhope Bridge, and competed a terrific point to point walk taking in Green Hill TP then via Tedham Moss, Riddlehamhope Fell and Beldon Cleugh to Bulbeck Common TP. The weather could have been kinder considering it was late June, but at least we had the wind, the rain and the occasional hail at our backs throughout, along with some rare bursts of sunshine. An excellent day out!

Always felt slightly guilty that almost all of the Northumberland TP's I've bagged have been done by a car journey between each 'bag', today we did 4 in a single round...Green Hill - Harwood Side - Watsons Pike - Bulbeck Common - Green Hill (again)...From Watsons Pike we retraced our steps down the bulldozed track and took the SE fork on Hangman Hill. Our journey W along Rowantree Cleugh to Harwood Shield was accompanied by one very pi$$ed off Oyster Catcher who circled above us squawking the entire time. At Harwood Shield we turned S and followed the track toward Heatheryburn to the stile at P407 where we turned NE along Carriers Way for what was the best part of the 20-odd mile round trip. Ascending from the marvellous Beldon Cleugh we struck SE for the ridge of Round Hill, would recommend contouring further along CW till N of the TP then striking due S up the hill. Would have been excellent 360 views bar the heat-haze...Then off back to Green Hill over Riddlehamhope Fell and Halleywell Causey to return to our start via Green Hill - a long and arduous trip, but immensely satisfying!

A brilliant circular walk from Baybridge via Riddlehamhope returning east along the Carriers Way. The derelict shooting lodge at Riddlehamhope has lost its stone roof since my last visit. Beldon Cleugh is not only an unexpected feature but also the location where I observed two deer. The trig drifted into insignificance on this journey.

Parked at the Baybridge picnic area. Did as an 8 mile circular walk first visiting the Warlaw Pike trig. From Warlaw Pike followed the Carrier's Way to Blackburn Head then cut up to the trig. Returned to Baybridge via the track through Beldon Plantations.

Approached from Slaley Forest to the North and returned via Warlaw Pike. Good paths all the way on bright but very windy day. Estate busy burning heather but we managed to avoid the worst of it.

Ascended from Blanchland and trekked accross a rough lump of heather moorland to get to this canny trig. Suprisingly good views all around and the main Cheviot Hills were also visible.

It was dusk and the light was going rapidly by the time I got here. Just visited the 'Riddlehamhope' cache and will go on to 'Carry on Regardless' from here. A splendid walk. The T/P is in good nick with all the metalwork where it should be. The views are a bit better than the average moorland view.

Good views north with the Cheviot Hills in the distance. The sign ''Beware of Adders'' made the final trek through thick heather a tad uncomfortable.

Another trig in a sea of heather. Strange to see a number of turnips lying around miles from nowhere - I suppose the sheep need something to live on up here.
