General Notes
About 2500 feet of ascent. Although not at all guaranteed, as they can be quite elusive, there is a good chance that we will come across some Cheviot Feral goats on this walk. On the two occasions that this walk has been done already this year, the goats have been plentiful

Walk Report

The car park at Wedders Leap is an excellent starting point for Cheviot Walks. It's free, it's large. It is however seemingly on a road to nowhere, several miles on from Alwinton. ( Paul Nellist )
