"Spent the night of 27th at Auchope Rigg refuge hut. Ascended through mild wind to Auchope Cairn which was topped in cloud cover. Continued on to Cairn Hill passing aeroplane wreckage. From Cairn Hill followed the stone path to the Cheviot Summit also in cloud cover. Descending from the Cheviot to Scald Hill and then down to Harthope Valley and onto Wooler." — danieltheedrew • Jun 28, 2022
"On the way to the Auchope Rigg refuge hut. Went through Harthope Valley. Gradually ascending through the established trail to less maintained land joining the path below Scots Cairn. Continued through Cairn Hill following the path to the Auchope Rigg Refuge hut." — danieltheedrew • Jun 27, 2022
"Bagged this one as part of the Horseshoe from Comb Fell on my way to the Cheviot. Was a nightmare walk from Comb Fell to Cairn Hill... large peat hags and swampy underfoot with clouds of midges. " — NorthernWayfarer • Aug 23, 2016
"A hot but breezy day, drove to the roadhead at Harthope Burn nr Langleeford. Walked up onto Scald Hill, with good views across the valley to Hedgehope 714m. Here there are several shooting butts, we dropped down slightly and onto the infamous cheviot muddy path. But 10 days of good weather had dried up most of the mud. We then ascended steeply, onto the summit plateau of Cheviot. here there is now a stone flagged path through the peat, which makes the going to the summit cairn much easier. Good views on the summit plateau, we don't stop long on the summit, but head on SW across the plateau to Cairn Hill, where we have a late lunch. Look at various options as there are many nearby peaks, but decide on a horseshoe walk option, which takes us S down to Scotsman's Knowe, across some wet peat hags in the col and then up S and then E to Comb Fell. Here the going is very muddy and I regret putting on lightweight boots as I get very wet feet. We then head NE to the col and up the long grassy track to Hedgehope Hill. The weather is still excellent with far reaching views. After a brief stop we head steeply down NW, to Long Crags and Housey Crags and there pick up a good track back to our st..." — davidlong • May 25, 2012
"Solo walk. From just before the end of the road at Langleeford. After ascending Scald Hill and the Cheviot. I continued along the stone slab path to Cairn Hill (777m). The stone slabs come to an end just short of the 777m top which is a boggy area with a signpost on one side of a fence and a stone shelter on the other side. I walked on the path SE, leaving it to follow a fence down to the col with Comb Fell and up to the summit of Comb Fell. There were traces of a path but many peat hags and much bog requiring precarious manoeuvres clinging to the fence or deviations from the straight line. The problem with bogs continued to the summit of Hedgehope Hill. I descended NE on a path which went over Long Crags and down to the road. Unlike the traverse of Comb Fell, the descent route from Hedgehope Hill was well-trodden and for the most part dry. Dry and mild." — peter43 • Oct 12, 2008
