Points of Interest and LINKS:
Pennine Way		Byrness 
Ravens Knowe		Chew Green - Roman Camps	
The Cheviot	The Schil
Kirk Yetholm

Description: Early start in rain, Steep ascent from Byrness through woods to hills.
Skirted military danger zone, occasional explosion in the distance. Border fence
with Scotland after four miles from start very disappointing. Just an ordinary
fence between two fields. Walked along fence for a mile to Chew Green Roman
Camp. Peat hags dry, walking relatively easy. Views along ridges disappointing.
Lunch at Cairn Hill, where Eddie and I walked to top of The Cheviot inn turn with
rucksack. Steep descent from Cairn Hill, knees feeling crunch. Chris and I walked
down valley, Eddie along ridge to Kirk Yetholm. Met by Jen in car.

CELEBRATIONS ALL ROUND - TO SEE THE END IS MAGIC
GOOD OLD WAINWRIGHT.

Location: Start of Walk

Hazards: Care required along entire length of walk if weather bad or
ground boggy. Relatively easy to find directions. Very tiring journey back to Kendal.
