What a great little journey this was
40 kilometres across the Northumbrian/ Scottish border over the Cheviot Hills.
From Byrness village to the old Roman camps at Chew Green then onto the English-Scottish border ridge where we camped for two nights until walking out of the beautiful Cheviot College valley with its white painted buildings and memorial to the brave airmen who lost their lives in this remote place.
The weather was with us for once and we had bright sunshine, blue skies and a good dose of Cheviot wind.

If any one would like to support my little meanderings: www.buymeacoffee.com/gpbasnettK It would be gratefully received!

Had an absolute blast Graham, some quality time with quality chaps in a quality place. Wind and sun burns are cooling down now 🤣 Hen hole is a truly magical place for a camp. Looking forward to our next trip.

@grahamswildcamping 11 месяцев назад

Thanks for the company DD and for the effort you made to get up here! Had a truly memorable weekend

Fantastic video. Definitely inspiring me to do something similar this summer. Thanks for sharing

@grahamswildcamping 6 месяцев назад

Thank you, one of my favourite trips from last year, just a mini expedition for sure, but good for the soul. Hope you get out and have a great trip yourself, ATB, Graham 👍👍

Nice one Graham.. stunning place 👏👏

@grahamswildcamping 11 месяцев назад

Thank you, it was a lovely walk to do, a bit up and down but the views kept me distracted, ATB, Graham 👍

Loved this one Graham, from start to finish. A really nice route to hike over a couple of days, with a couple of good pals (who really did look like superheroes). Good call's on the water conservation / harvesting, and also on the use of the Refuge Huts. Big thumbs up from me :)

@grahamswildcamping 10 месяцев назад

Thanks Donna, I really enjoyed this little mini adventure. For me, it’s about what life’s all about, a few days complete freedom in the hills with good friends. The water was a concern but tbh it added a little bit to the enjoyment of it all, having to source it and problem solve ATB, Graham 👍👍

@ashwoodoutdoors 11 месяцев назад

Cracking video Graham. You had amazing weather. I love the boarder ridge and the henhole

@grahamswildcamping 11 месяцев назад

Thanks very much, it's a nice part of the world, we're lucky to have it so near. TFW, atb, Graham 👍👍

@jtoutdoors9888 11 месяцев назад

@grahamswildcamping 11 месяцев назад

Thanks, I love ‘em too, only get the chance a couple of times per year but I love a little mini-adventure. TFW, ATB, Graham 👍👍

That’s a cracking route Graham, brill vid. Love a few days out like that, you deffo do need an early night at some point though to catch up. Spot on vid. Cheers, Dave

@grahamswildcamping 11 месяцев назад

Thanks very much. Properly enjoyed the route, was a great couple of nights. I do like an early tent night sometimes !

@northumberlandmountainhopper 11 месяцев назад

Hi Graham, great walk and video Never walked that part, the hills look nice and rolling, Water is hard to find and heavy to carry, choices choices. Cheers Adrian

@grahamswildcamping 11 месяцев назад

Absolutely. I'm always guilty of not carrying enough water! Cheers Adrian 👍

@nickpotts4511 11 месяцев назад

@grahamswildcamping 11 месяцев назад

It was great, to get away from everything for a few days was just the best, TFW, Graham 🤘👍

@dekacoombe4595 11 месяцев назад

Cracking that mate ,looked a great adventure,wouldn’t mind a go at that or parts of it ,thanks for sharing 👍🏻,atb Deka 👌😎

@grahamswildcamping 11 месяцев назад

Thanks👍It's a lovely part of the country up there and well worth a hike, atb, Graham 👍👍

@cheviotoutdoors 11 месяцев назад

Excellent video Graham. I did that route from Byrness to Lamb Hill a few months ago, it’s a nice route. Those ‘rare’ goats are everywhere 😂

@grahamswildcamping 11 месяцев назад

I remember watching your video for ‘research’ as the route was very similar ! ATB, Graham 👍

@thegeordiefellwalker8878 11 месяцев назад

nice one Graham. when i 1st found spithope it was totally enclosed in trees👌 there is sometimes a little trickle near yearning hall.normally use it when camping at lamb hill.good to see the goats thriving 👍

@grahamswildcamping 11 месяцев назад

That's a good shout, that might have been next port of call if we hadn't found a nearer one. Was smashing to see the goats, atb, Graham 👍👍

@HardyTempestsWildCampsandWalks 11 месяцев назад

As always a great watch. You could save a ton of weight if you removed the labels from that tent. Never seen so many! 😂😂😂😂

@grahamswildcamping 11 месяцев назад

lol! 😂probably true that! A true ultralighter would snip those off 😆TFW, atb, Graham 👍👍

@thebackingpackinggeordie 11 месяцев назад

Keep meaning to have a night up in that Bothy, but not sure i would do it solo!

@grahamswildcamping 11 месяцев назад

Definitely one of the safer bothy/ mountain huts, I would've thought. There are some bothies I won't go back to full stop because of people I've met though, so you are right to be cautious!

@NorwayHikesTrails 11 месяцев назад

Looks like it was a nice hike and wild camp. You have a wonderful day Graham. Take care.

@grahamswildcamping 11 месяцев назад

Thank you, it was a great little mini adventure. You take care too 👍👍

@thegeordiewildcamper 11 месяцев назад

Great trip Graham, looked a epic few days in the borders. Its been pretty tight on water recently so can imagine it made things a tad more difficult. well done and TFS Steven

@grahamswildcamping 11 месяцев назад

Thanks mate, I absolutely loved the whole thing. Really enjoyable, TFW 👍👍

@tynefisher4227 11 месяцев назад

hello mate seen you getting picked up by your lass didnt know it was you i walked down the wall from great hetha next time we meet i owe you a pint keep the vids coming its you emz and donna that make me get out cheers

@grahamswildcamping 11 месяцев назад

Aye that would've been me! They certainly put in the miles those two lasses. Thanks for your kind words- the other two lads I was with were dissapointed Hethpool didn't have a pub 😆ATB, Graham 👍👍

@B_R_WG 11 месяцев назад

I used to know parts of that walk like the back of my hand … is there still a Log Book in the first Refuge Hut to record use ? … also there was a small map inside indicating the location of a Spring behind the Hut and just over the Border Fence .

@grahamswildcamping 11 месяцев назад

Yes, the log book was there but it was full, and felt a bit thin as if people had been tearing pages from it. It did indicate that the hut is well used, as you'd expect, on the Pennine Way. I did look for water directions but I didn't see any- I might have just missed them. Thanks for watching, Graham 👍👍
