CUHWC Cheviots Trip
25th January 2008 to 27th January 2008

The first CUHWC weekend trip of the year went to the Cheviot Hills, on the Scottish border. Our accommodation was in the newly-refurbished Byrness youth hostel. I enjoyed long, fast walks to The Cheviot and to Chew Green Roman Camp, in better-than-forecast weather.
