Good path all the way up this one if you know where to look. Parked in layby 200m up forest road to SE of Kielder village. Followed path through woods to junction with Osprey MTB route. Then straight up hill NE wards on a path along firebreak until it turns 90 degrees SE for 500m, partly shared with mountain bike track until meeting another firebreak. Cross plank bridge and follow good path up past fire tower to summit. Partially signed as Three Pikes trail but only further up the hill for some reason. Suspect forestry commission trying to separate MTBs and hikers.

Like others have said not so easy to get to is this one. Parked at Hall Knowe picnic spot where we met 2 Belgians who were lost. They were supposed to be doing the Pennine way towards Bellingham but were at least 15-20 km off piste! They only had the map with the sections of the pennine way on so we spent some time convincing them they were not actually on any of their map...advised them to go to visitor centre at kielder and ask about bus!...Anyway the trek to the trig was via none existant fire breaks in the forest...alot of the area has been felled and replanted and the fire breaks on the map don't seem to exist anymore. Not so bad if you are short of leg as I am, but a bit more trouble some for my partner in crime who is a 6 footer. Once out on the summit it was an easy trudge to the trig....foolishy decided to go for Monkside.

A right sod to get to today. Still lots of snow in the firebreaks and just the type that you're always sinking through. Took a wrong turning in the forest as well which didn't help. Followed the Three pikes trail to the north on the way back which was easier.
