A walk up The Cheviot, the only good thing about walking up The Cheviot is that you then don't have to ever walk up it again for at least 20 years. Then back around Hedgehope, which I think was the first place I wild camped on my own? about 20 years ago.
About 17km I think, but the hills were absolutely crowded today, I saw at least 3, maybe 4, other people in 5 hours of hiking

Nice to see a local* brewery getting a mention in this article, even though I still haven't got around to visiting Cheviot Brewery.

A Cheviot Hill, we missed most of the snow, but there's enough to make it look nice.

Quick stock check this morning and managed to get a pic of Colin the third! Our current shearling north country Cheviot tup and despite his first year working and the wet weather has kept condition well. #defaidon #SheepOfMastadon #Sheep #Cheviot
I see Cows of Mastodon and Sheep of Mastodon, but is there any place for #GoatsOfMastodon ? These are part of the wild #Cheviot population, taken on Dere Street, the #RomanRoad running deep through the hills. #Northumberland #ScottishBorders
Here's some of my #handspun #yarn. It's from raw #cheviot #wool that I skirted, washed, combed, and #handspun. I made them into mini-skeins and then dyed them (right to left in the picture) with turmeric, #cochineal, #madder, marigolds, tea, a combo of the leftover marigold and some pomegranate on the tea base, and then two via a commercial tincture dip in green.
