June 2022 - Ascent from Langleeford. My first time walking in the Northumberland National Park. This remote walk explores the wild hills of the Anglo-Scottish border and bags the summit of The Cheviot – Northumberland’s highest point at 815m. The Cheviot itself is a wide dome of a hill. Its flat summit means that from the summit itself, the views are not special. However, the views on both the ways up and down are spectacular, stretching to the North Sea, over the Simonside Hills and to Cumbria. Boggy underfoot in places but the descent through the Harthope Burn valley was lovely.
