Walking on Mickle Fell
Q. Someone told me that you cannot go up Mickle Fell (County Durham) because the army use it as a firing range. Is this true? Are there times when they have a cease fire so you can go up it?
Thanks

A. Mickle Fell is within the restricted area of the Warcop MOD range. Its in an area which isn't deliberately shelled, though. Its also within the Strathmore estate and the Moorhouse/Upper Teesdale national nature reserve. And (!) its also open access land. You can walk on Mickle Fell on non-firing days as far as the army is concerned and the mod publish the dates. Or you can contact the range safety officer at Warcop for a permit. The Strathmore estate would also like you to ask permission but, I understand that they're somewhat less interested in providing access to the hill than the MOD (who are usually quite helpful). Many people climb the hill without Strathmore's permission. You don't need permission from the Nature Reserve.
