Northern Pennine Way, Cheviot Hills Challenge Walk
A superb series of challenge walks taking in the finest part of both the Pennine Way and also the top end of the Coquet Valley, in the Cheviot Hills.
After registering at Linbriggs Farm, near to Alwinton in the Coquet Valley we will bussed to one of three starting points - Byreness, Chew Green Rowhope road end.
From here, at the start of the Northern Pennine Way Challenge Walk, Cheviot Hills you will jump onto the Pennine Way.
The 23 and 18 mile walks skirt Chew Green and follow the Pennine Way as it follows the border fence, between Scotland and England, passing over Black Halls before reaching Checkpoint 1 at Lamb Hill refuge hut.
Then you climb Lamb Hill, Beefstand Hill, and Mozie Law before dropping down to Plea Knowe and crossing The Street, an old Drovers road.
At The Street the 13 mile challenge walk joins the Pennine Way and all three distances climb the mighty Windy Gyle.
After Windy Gyle you continue to follow the Pennine Way until you reach Clennell Street. From here you start dropping down to a Checkpoint located just before The Middle.
After passing over The Middle you drop down to Fairhaugh before following the beautiful Usway Burn down to Shillmoor.
Here it is a short walk back to Linbriggs Farm, the finish of the challenge walk.
Whilst researching and putting together this all-new challenge walk I believe we have put together one of the most stunning x 3 walks in the region and with the transfer at the start you experience some of the best summits and walking The Cheviot Hills has to offer.
