Walk Details:
Circular walk from the green, Alwinton Village into the Cheviot Hills. Parking on green opposite the Rose and Thistle pub, or at the National Park car park in the centre of this small village (2 pounds all day). Post Code NE65 7BQ. Leaders Paul Nellist and Paul Ashman. Alwinton, Clennel Street, Uswayford, Border Ridge, Windy Gyle, Little Ward Law, Fairhaugh, Shillmoor. Dogs welcome on leads but note there are sheep everywhere. Map OS OL 16, The Cheviot Hills. This is quite a tough walk in the Cheviots with 1050 metres of ascent. I would anticipate taking about 9 hours, so we should return in daylight. No need for pre-walk registration, just turn up on the day
