The Cheviot Horseshoe (or as I call it ‘the worst route on Cheviot)

The Cheviot Horseshoe is a 10 mile walk starting at Langleeford car park. I ascended Hedgehope hill first and ending on Cheviot summit. I extended my hike by visiting Auchope cairn which made the walk 13 miles in total over tough boggy terrain.
I love this hike but coomb fell is renowned for being the worst crossing on the Cheviot hills

[@emz_adventure]

[@NorwayHikesTrails]

A great hike Emz and stunning views 👍

[@emz_adventure]

Thank you so much . I did enjoy it. Have a great week

[@milesfromanywhere.]

Absolutely brutal bogs roond there like, hell on earth, done the fcker once, never again 😂😂. Nicely shot Emma, Atb, Dave. …..ps gaiters and snorkel lol

[@emz_adventure]

Haha it is indeed. I've done it a few times and it don't get any easier lad. Thanks so much for watching hope you're well. So nice to see you back out

[@themountainmen9484]

I've done from scald Hill around raking in hedgehogs and cheviot then down through Langley craggy and stopped for a wild camp.Next day we did it in reverse i thoroughly agree HEDGEHOPE ascent is a killer 😢😂😂😂, but I too love the cheviot range. I need to get back out,been too comfy in the woodland camp zone. Great video as per and bossing the new look. See you on them hills!!!

[@emz_adventure]

Oi oi. Wondered what you lot had been upto. Not seen nothing for a while. Hope ya well. It certainly is a leg burner but we love then hills don’t we. Cheers for watching. Really appreciate 💗🥾

[@reluctantfellrunner]

Nice trip out for you. Slippy socks and wandering minstrels! Best wishes on the next.

[@emz_adventure]

Thank you. Really appreciate you watching. 🙏🤩. Ha slippery socks and wandering minstrels 🎉

[@blamhof]

A beast of a walk Emz, Comb Fell is a sod haha, they did have some mesh down once over a bad bit but it's either sank or they removed it. I was up The Cheviot Sunday via the valley with my mate and his pal from Glasgow. Not sure if they appreciated the bleakness lol. Great video of your walk. Take care. Mick.

[@emz_adventure]

Ah yeah the mesh is still there. I filmed it but forgot to put it in my final edit 😂. Did your mates enjoy it. I love it up there whatever the weather . Cheers mick for watching

[@petemaccc]

That looked hard work, never mind chocolate I think I’d have needed a few cans of prime and red bull. Thanks for sharing enjoyed the watch

[@emz_adventure]

Haha yeah I should have taken some with me. Thanks so much for watching Mac

[@NorthernFellRunning]

Hi Emz. We did it the other way around a couple of months back and I have to say, I quite enjoyed it! Loved it actually!! Hahahaha xx Well done 👏👏👏👍

[@emz_adventure]

Yeah I do love the route for sure. Ya can’t beat those peat bogs man. But it’s a bugger when it’s been so wet. My boots are still drying 😂😂. Thanks for watching xx

[@grahamswildcamping]

What a stroll! Looke,ed tough AF, 10 hours is a heck of a walk. Especially when a lot of it looked windswept and boggy. I'll have to get up that Cheviot some day, TFS , ATB, 👍

[@emz_adventure]

Have ya never been up Cheviot Graham ? It’s a canny walk this one but 10 hours id normally do it in half that but I sat for ages and was taking pics and vids and before I knew it it was nearly 6pm 😂😂. Cheers for watching really appreciate it . Take care bud

[@grahamswildcamping]

@@emz_adventure Never been up Cheviot, quite a confession, I know...!

[@emz_adventure]

@@grahamswildcamping 😮😮

[@thenorth-facewanderer6965]

Everyone luvs a good minstrel 😮 luv the vid ATB 🙏

[@emz_adventure]

Haha indeed they do. Thanks Glen

[@AlanMETALMAN]

No way those Minerals would have still been there on the top if I had had them in my pockets, we normally have a big packet each when we go to the afternoon cinema and mine are always gone before the the adverts are finished, way before the film starts🤣. Shame the snow was replaced by mist and mud, mind you, you were going a canny clip over the bog mind, those walking poles must have been red hot! If that was the better path, I would have hated to see the worse path 😳, I hate walking in mud and bogs, which the Cheviot always remind me of, so that must be the reason I have never climbed it🧐. That wooden plank crossing looked sketchy mind, especially with Rollo hurrying you along. Some of those deep peat trenches looked real deep and very muddy, which reminded me of the Peat Bogs of Doom going towards The Nab in the Lakes, about 16 months ago with Katy Fox, we slid down and slowly walked across one before having to climb out the other side, which she did with out any problems but I could not get out at all, she literally had to drag me out by the scruff of my neck, I am still trying to live down the embarrassment after all this time😖. It always looks a very strange summit cairn at the top of Cheviot and what a bog surrounding it too, to be honest, I think I would be happy with just the Cheviot and by the look/sounds of it from the Collage Valley but only when it is nice and warm, nice and sunny and nice and dry too! I did watch till the end, a long days walking for you but what else are you going to do on a Saturday afternoon and what else am I going to do on a wet Monday afternoon. 13 miles in 10 hours in those conditions sound dam good to me, cheers Alan

[@emz_adventure]

Eeh Alan that is brilliant. The part where Katy had to pull you out the bog has me howling 😂😂. I love the bogs if I’m totally honest . Just adds to the excitement. I must however train my bloody dog to give me a boost up the other side next time. Took me a while to clamber out that 2nd last trench mind I kept sliding back in the bog several times😂😂. Thank you so so much for watching 💗🥾

[@jimmy.mccutcheon.1961]

Nice one Emz..😉👍 Better views yesterday 😊

[@emz_adventure]

Thanks so much Jimmy

[@VagabondTurtle]

Rainy but very charming place to hike! You have been out and about for quite some distance, 10 mile is not small amount! Especially with the terrain!

[@emz_adventure]

Thank you so so much. It’s a beautiful walk, tough at times but it’s true the toughest climbs come with amazing views. 🙏💗

[@WanderingwithWatto]

Emz this is awesome. I love how you just go and do this. I struggle to walk in the flat now as way to much shall we say self abuse. I love the views up there. Really enjoyed watching. Keep doing you. 👌🏻. Best wishes from Kim and me hope to catch you again soon. 👍🏻🚶🏻‍♂️🚶‍♀️.

[@emz_adventure]

Hey watto and Kim. Ah no way I hope you’re well. It doesn’t matter about climbing high it’s just about getting out. I’ve put some timber on over winter (like a grizzly bear) and I’m just trying to keep on getting out. Whether it be low or high hikes. Appreciate you watching and enjoying my video. Hope to see you both in the bear future. And keep on bringing out such awesome content on your channel 💗🥾🎉🎉

[@donnavansenior]

10 hours out hiking?? You're a bloody machine woman, poor Rolo must dread seeing you don your gaiters 😂😂 Seriously though, hats off to you for the miles and mountain / hill heights you put in - over terrain like that when it's a claarty peat-haggy bog-hopping mission it makes it even harder going, and it's not easy going on a nice summers day! Great footage of the Cheviots and how expansive and solemn yet majestic they are. Really enjoyable, loved the wee rocky 'nipple' outcrop, it was like a teeny tiny Little Standrop - shame there wasn't enough space for a tent there lol. Epic stuff Emz. What's happened to the pink heed? Hope Rolo recovered ok & hope you treated yourself to some new gaiters xx

[@emz_adventure]

Awww cheers man DVS. You know me I love them thar hills and if I can spend all day in them I will. Maybe I should just go and dig myself a peat bog hut and live up there 👆 😂😂. Rolo literally whinces now when I put me gaiters on cos he knows it’s not just a few mile I’m doing , he knas I mean business 😂😂. The nipple has actually got some canny spots for a tent however the hike up with a pack would be brutal like. Hope ya doing well. I’ll be watching your latest vid later after work. Looking forward to it. I’ll see ya soon me little dreed locked heeded marra. Much love to you xxx

[@ramblingracheltrailtales]

Hey 👋 Well that looked like a right bog fest 😩 But the views were pretty once the mist had lifted. 😊 Sometimes the trail throws a curve ball and you’ve just got to go for it. You did well not to get up stuck in the mud 😊

[@emz_adventure]

Ha yeah it is pretty darn boggy. All adds to the fun I think 🤔. Thanks so much for watching Rachel 💗🥾

[@thunder_roaming]

Looked like a decent day for it Emz. Some of it does look a real slog though. Excellent vid.

[@emz_adventure]

It was a lovely day thanks. Thanks for watching 🤩

[@macinthewild8116]

That’s a tough auld route Emz, well done to you!

[@emz_adventure]

Aye it’s a beast but I do love it. Thanks so much for watching

[@astrostardust]

good effort Emz that's a canny long walk loved watching the video great stuff

[@emz_adventure]

Ah cheers Pete 🤩

[@yasminshikingmission]

Morning Emz 😊 looks like a big walk for a Saturday. How great that you pretty much had it to yourself. Is it like that in summer too, pretty quiet still? I can imagine how tough the boggy section is 😅 ouch hope the finger healed up well, obviously was very excited about that treat 😁 have a great week

[@emz_adventure]

Hey Yasmin as you can see I love the hills here. It was a fantastic but exhausting hike. My legs are sore tonight. Thanks so much for watching. Hope you have a fab week x

[@NorthernFellRunning]

Will be watching this later... I suspect there's going to be drama!! Hahahaha xx

[@AlbertOutdoorsUK]

Hi, i just watched this and recognised you as the lady we met with a chocolate lab near the bottom of the Cheviot where the finger post (I’d never heard that expression before) points down the valley back to Langleeford. You told us that you’d just crossed Comb Fell, and I asked about your Gaiters. We’ve been back to the Cheviots a few times since. I’m always scouting for wild camping spots. Thank you for sharing your video. I’m enjoying catching up on your others. Great fun 😊

[@emz_adventure]

Hello there. Yes I remember you both. Nice to meet you. Did you get some gaiters. Its a great set of hills in that area isn't it....albeit it unruly with the weather from time to time 😀 . Thanks so much for taking the time to watch my video and comment. I'm sure our paths will cross again on the hills. Take care to you both 😊

[@AlbertOutdoorsUK]

@@emz_adventure Thank you for taking the time to talk with us on that chilly day. Rolo is lovely. I got a pair of Gaitors (that I love) but Grace isn’t convinced about them. We did the full horseshoe a few weeks ago with our new lurcher Bruce. I had to lift him over a couple of stiles though but he seemed to love it as much as we did. We’ve done Hadrians Wall, The Herriot Way and St. Cuthberts Way this year (all backpacking and camping) so it’s been a busy year. I’m looking at wild camping locally in the near future so I’m keen to watch some more of your videos for tips and inspiration. Thanks again 😊

[@emz_adventure]

@TheAlDuffy apologies for late reply. The horseshoe is a cracking if not boggy hike isn't it. Gaiters definitely help. Bet your lurcher enjoyed it. Not sure I could lift rolo over the stiles 😂. St cuthberts way is lovely isn't it. Thanks again for the lovely comments. 😍

[@AlbertOutdoorsUK]

@@emz_adventure St. Cuthberts was great. I did it solo and it rained almost continuously but it didn’t dampen my spirits. When I got to Beal I couldn’t get on the campsite so I just went home and finished it the next day. It was probably my favourite thru hike in some ways. Yes, the Horseshoe is great but I don’t know if I’d take it on again 😂

[@neilson90TooTents]

That was a great video, looked really good.

[@emz_adventure]

Thank you 🙏

[@emz_adventure]

Neilson I'm just watching your Beadnell walk. Couldn't comment on it but it's a cracking video. Really loved the history attached to the old Chapel. I go there and didn't even know that about it 😊

[@neilson90TooTents]

@@emz_adventure there's a old program called Britain at low tide, they a one about Beadnell and found the remains of a medieval harbour. I love that place, especially when I saw a school of pilot whale's.

[@GENerationXplorers]

Thats fair going Emz, well done on getting it all done! Fuelled by minstrels. The atmospheric hill fog really sets the tone, quite boggy and marshy in places but a superb day none the less! Yay you made it home, the evidence is on KZbin! ❤ 🐕

[@emz_adventure]

Thanks so much for watching guys. Really appreciate it. Hope you’re well. It is a great route for sure. Quite fun 🤩 x

[@themountainmen9484]

I must be sick in the head as i did it a few Christmas's ago, first on the Wednesday then drove back and did it the friday, mind it was cold so it was frozen and made comb fell a little bit easier. Sorry just looking back through cheviots vids and yours are a favourite

[@emz_adventure]

🤣🤣I love that route 😍. I remember you told me about that last year. Its a cracking route. Most folk hate it 🤣🤣. Cheers for the nice comments 😊

[@Kev_Russ]

Oooft boggy mcbog face indeed. 😁 That's the route I tend to do next time am down that way so nice to see it. Or I might just head straight up via Harthope Linn. Any decent flat ground for pitches up there? Coldlaw cairn?

[@emz_adventure]

Evening Kevin. There’s a nice pitch on cold law cairn. Hedgehope is stunning to camp on. And Cheviot at cairn hill is flat for a tent. There’s quite a few spots to be honest. As long as we’ve not had days of rain 🌧️. Thanks so much for watching and I’m looking forward to seeing ya video when you do come down here 🤩🤩

[@boblobster]

That's a great route tho even in Summer Comb Fell is a hard slog

[@emz_adventure]

It is indeed. Cheers Bob for watching

[@atrampinthehills.841]

Yep...know it well...and like you say "Boggy as F"

[@emz_adventure]

😂it is. Thanks for watching

[@GAPTEXPLORE]

*_The view of the savanna is very wide, is this included for herding cattle...?, why is it so damaged huh..._*

[@emz_adventure]

Thanks for watching. Peat bogs hold water so when the weather is wet for a period the water stays for a long time until it dries out more in summer. Peat is good for the land but not very enjoyable to walk on. Cattle won’t graze on here as it’s heather too. But sheep love it

[@GAPTEXPLORE]

@@emz_adventure Thanks for the explanation
