"Continued the Horseshoe walk from Hedgehope Hill to Comb Fell. A little boggy underfoot but not as bad as what was to come. Difficult to work out the exact summit. Some reports I had read before hand said it was close to the post that is standing on its own. So took that as the summit." — 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. Ther is no summit cairn on this grassy hill. We then head NE down 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 C..." — 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
