Dave, Hogdon Law is great for a big XC. This site is part a very long ridge system running all the way up to the Cheviot !
The run would take you onto 'Cushat Law' then 'Bloodybush edge' from there Windy Glye is just a couple of miles over the back then you clear all the way to the s west coast... 120miles !!!
WELL TITERS TO THE COAST NOT 1 BUT 2

Re: XC's
Not interested in your personal conquests Ron nore was I attacking you, simply challenging your theory by stating the facts that there are no XC's worth talking about done from the Cheviots and no amount of flannel can change that fact.ron freeman wrote:In terms of your XC ability Steve I will keep this very simple![]()

The arm is fine Ron and I am only left with a slight permanent disability, which I am sure I too might come to laugh at also, given time. Get your self down the hospital Ron where there are loads of other people to point at and laugh about there misfortunes. I look forward to showing you my elbow the next time I see you, real close up, I'd like you see you laughing in my face.
