Fellow go4awalkers who have already walked, climbed, summited & bagged The Cheviot

Margaret Richards walked up The Cheviot on May 10th, 2010 [from/via/route] Pennine way [with] Don [weather] Sunny

Kevin Foster climbed The Cheviot on February 11th, 2018 [from/via/route] Middleton Hall [with] By myself [weather] Full winter conditions (snow and 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 and the short daylight hours I should end the walk here and 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 and Hedgehope Hill.

Andy Jakob bagged The Cheviot during August, 1985 [from/via/route] Pennine Way north to south

Robert Shaw hiked The Cheviot on May 10th, 2013 [from/via/route] Bagged on the Pennine Way between the 10th and 24th May 2013. [weather] Various !! - 15 days of mainly fun.

Anthony Scott summited The Cheviot on February 24th, 2017 [from/via/route] Langleeford Farm and down the valley [with] Jessie [weather] 4 degrees. Sun and white cloud - Snow covered all over and knee deep in places

Mark Davidson conquered The Cheviot on May 30th, 2007 [with] Theresa [weather] High light cloud but not much sunshine - Clear but grey. Tried to climb it a few days before but were rained off the mountain!

Joseph Smith climbed The Cheviot on October 19th, 2014 [from/via/route] N132 [with] Jack and Spud [weather] The strongest winds I've ever experienced. - Maybe should have wore something other than trainers. Shrek's garden would be less boggy.

Christine Shepherd bagged The Cheviot on August 24th, 2014 [from/via/route] Walked from Harthope Burn Valley using walk n132 [with] On my own [weather] Sunny but not too hot. Very clear - A great walk. Following the fence means that route finding is easy and you can concentrate on watching where you put your feet across the boggy bits.
