Caroline Winter walked up The Cheviot on July 25th, 2021 [from/via/route] Langleeford, Hedgehope Hill, Comb Fell, Cairn hill, The Cheviot [with] Becky & Andy [weather] Fog 50 M visibity, drizzle, warm & light breeze - Forecast inaccurate today, expecting good views by 1 pm, but not clear until 2.30pm, so had some views on descent. Busiest section of walk, with people walking up to do The Cheviot

Ginny Tyler climbed The Cheviot on August 5th, 2020 [from/via/route] Car Park [with] Enzo [weather] Pleasant - Chilly at the Summit

Kevin Foster summited The Cheviot on February 11th, 2018 [from/via/route] Middleton Hall [with] By myself [weather] Full winter conditions (snow & ice underfoot). Clear blue skies. - My car (not 4x4) was unable to get up the steep road to Langleeford because of ice therefore I had to start at the road junction near North Middleton which substantially increased the walk by 7 miles. A long walk in followed by a very tough climb (sinking into snow drifts the length of my legs!), I finally made the summit at just after 2pm. I figured given the conditions, the long walk back to the car & the short daylight hours I should end the walk here & return the way I'd come. I will have to visit these hills again another day to complete the Harthope Burn circuit including Comb Fell & Hedgehope Hill.
