From Geordie`s hill. Onward to Mid hill	Andrew Simmons	05/03/2022
On the way back to Twislehope via Geordie�s Hill. Solo. Hot, dry and sunny.	Dangerous Dave	25/07/2021
From Twistlehope, kind Mrs Farmer let me park but advised normally walker parking is at the cattle grid by the road. Took farm track heading E until due S of Geordie's Hill then straight up steep, rough, tussocky, snow-covered pasture. On to Tamond Heights -> Mid Hill -> Scawd Bank -> Wetherhorn Hill. Considered a re-ascent of Pike Fell, but snow depth made for hard work so missed it. Otherwise pleasant 11km round in excellent weather.	jonglew	22/01/2021
A nine summit trek around what I'm calling the Twislehope Horseshoe (cos I love the name), taking just shy of six hours in total. Up the track from Twislehope farmhouse (hounds still very yappy) besides Caulker Grain. Doubled back to take in Ewe Hill, then skirted the glen head to Din Fell. Pretty tough heathery ground occasionally made easier by old 4x4 tracks had to be reversed to get back on the large stone track that now goes all the way to Roan Fell. From here there was another heathery detour to take in Wetherhorn Hill, before getting back on the main ridge to Scawd Bank. Heading west involved an up-n-down to Pike Fell before the homeward straight across Mid Hill, Tamond Heights and finally Geordie's Hill. As the winter sun finally dropped, sheep scattered as we crossed grazed fields back to the car parked at the entrance to the track to Twislehope. Frozen ground certainly helped today - this could be a wet-footed wander on a milder day.	summitter	30/11/2019
P 4284 9751. E along road then track across Carewood Rig and start of steep climb mostly along fence to Geordie's Hill. Followed fence on S side to Tamond Heights. Very rough till lower down on way to Butter Hill. Down to and along plantation fence, across stream up slope and along road.	chrisbien	30/04/2019
From Butter Hill, good tracks at first then rougher towards the top. Summit flat, deep heather on E side of fence.	Aye Jimmy	25/11/2018
6 hill south north traverse from Mosspeebles. Damp dull hill. Geordie's better	RHW	29/10/2017
Anticlockwise round from Twistlehope road end taking in Geordie's Hill, Tamond Heights, Mid Hill, Pike Fell, Scawd Bank, Roan Fell and Ewe Hill. Clear winter's day, brilliant views. Route followed fence most of the way, tussocky and heathery much of the way, intermittent quad bike tracks - ground part frozen which was a bonus - would have been boggy otherwise.	Crib Goch	28/02/2016
Walked between Butter Hill and Geordie's Hill. Lots of tussocks.	Colin Crawford	05/08/2015
