Hi…thinking of popping up from Yorkshire and try to explore the Ranges. I have checked for firing times and They are not firing next week. Could anybody please advise best place to get on, best routes if any etc etc for a blast. I assume we are only allowed on Tarmac roads?

Thanks in advance

Coquet Valley is a good ride, mostly broken tarmac and wee bit of gravel on the range roads

Have fun

This route would take you alongside the old Roman forts at Chew Green, if you’ve any interest in such things.

A good place to get on the ranges is on the A68, a few miles south of Carter Bar. You'll see the Border Forest park on the left, there's a sign indicating right turn to Cottonhope ranges, just turn in there and have a wander around. If you go right through to the eastern side it isn't far to Rothbury, if you need food etc.
