Cheviot 99

Cheviot 99 is a peak bagging challenge that was created by Wanney Books a few years back. The challenge is to climb all 99 peaks in the Cheviot Hills that are over 300m in height and are on publicly accessible land.

The challenge is quite enjoyable even though the famous Cheviot bog has to be tackled on several occasions. Most of the National Park is an open access area which means that route possibilities are endless, and the challenge takes the intrepid explorer to remote but beautiful valleys, abandoned medieval villages, iron age hillforts, standing stones, cairns and stone circles, and really highlights the beauty of these remote hills.

The 99 peaks in the challenge are:

In 2024, a dedicated Cheviot 99 peak bagging page will be unveiled on: https://cheviot99.co.uk/

Our walks often climb several of the Cheviot 99 in one route. So, why not start bagging? 😉
