Parked in a newish looking car park (6-8 cars) at the end of the road in Hilton. Took the old quarry track to the SE and up the zig zags to Long Fell, then a trod to Tinside Rigg. A path off the NE ridge eventually gave us sight of an atv track leading N, then NW on the Little Fell plateau near to the trig and hp. It continued N from the W side of the latter, past the shelters (lunch) on Arnside Rake and right up to the large cairn on Mickle Fell. The hp is just beyond. Returning to Arnside Rake we hacked across to Swarth Beck and picked up the (faint at first) path over the watershed and down into Scordale and eventually the track alongside Scordale Beck back to Hilton in the dark. A long day in the showers and low cloud and extremely wet underfoot. The upper Scordale valley worth another visit in better weather. Walk was on a Warcop public access day.

With Frances. As per my entry for Long Fell. These tops expose the unfortunate inclusions in the Nuttalls list that succeed technically.Donpeblo28/05/2023
From the parking area in Murton for a Thirteen mile walk to the summit's of Murton fell, Little fell, Tinside rigg, Long fell and Roman fell. Returning via Hilton in Six and half hours.WAYNE ROWLETT08/04/2023
On a Warcop public access day. Parked at Murton and walked clockwise around a circular course picking up 3 as yet unclimbed Nuttalls and my last English Dewey. Once on the Warcop estate I only saw a farmer with his sheep, oh, and one bit of ammo hanging on a fence. I visited Murton Pike, Murton Fell (summit and B+L top), Little Fell (summit and the sadly damaged trig), Tinside Rigg, Long Fell, and Roman Fell (my final English Dewey). Altogether nearly 24km with 880m ascent taking me 7h 30m.silveracorn_alan04/03/2023
Pleasant circuit from the Durham / Cumbria boundary on the B6276, taking in Long Fell, Tinside Rigg, Little Fell and Mickle Fell. Glad I took the advice to head north off Little Fell as I came across a wide track which took me easily to Mickle Fell avoiding the bogfest that the direct route would have delivered.oldbagger2707/08/2022
Round of Long Fell, Tinside Rigg, Little Fell and Mickle Fell and a long trudge back along footpath alongside Swarth Beck and finally along Scordale back to Hilton.Longwojo07/08/2022

From Hilton to Long Fell, Tinside Rigg - via the shell case summit and the second intermediary top - and Roman Fell via the MoD's zigzag track and a descend around the Northern Crags of Roman Fell into beautiful Swindale and Scordale.Nick Down130/05/2021
Weekend day so no firing. Round of Long Fell, Tinside Rigg and Roman Fell. Warnings about lasers and a lady fell runner running holding a big branch over her head because she had been mobbed several times by a buzzard and she asked me to stay put for a while in case it happened again. It didn't but it was all a bit surreal.clivevilla06/05/2021

A day of plausible denial. From Hilton. Conflicting MoD indicators MoD – flags not flying, lights not lit, barriers down. Along waymarked track SE to plantation, then up track to Long Fell mines; gunfire below. Up Roman Fell from col at NY761200, purgatorial veg; on to Tinside Rigg, tough veg. Bit of a path just before and after bridleway from Christy Bank, then ATV track to Little Fell. Corroded unexploded ordnance aplenty. From Little Fell a promising ATV track was abandoned several times as it kept veering off rather than going direct to Scorsdale Head, from which an ATV track sidles up SW along line of white posts to S top of Murton Fell, then it’s ruff’n’tuff N to the summit of Murton Fell. Ruff’n’tuff down to the mapped PF at the ‘shelters’. Down at the Murton CP, MoD display board says the area is off limits 6.5 days a week (access only after 13:00 on Sundays), with access to Little Fell only in escorted groups in July; there is no similar display board at Hilton – hence PDIsbjorn25/08/2020

Arrived to bivvy the night near Charlie High at 10pm on 24th - still technically a firing day! Set off early morning on lovely sunny day which became too warm so ended up shirtless on upper slopes. Tinside was a much nicer summit than Long Fell I thought, with interesting huge hole passed on descent. Saw lots of scattered ordnance but no people.signyred25/05/2019
From public CP in Murton. Murton Pike -> the 2 Murton Fells -> Little Fell -> Tinside Rigg -> Long Fell -> Roman Fell. Pleasant 19k round in deep snow on a non-firing day.jonglew02/02/2019

ACW circuit from Hilton. Roman Fell, Long Fell, Tinside Rigg & Little Fell, then W into Scordale valley. Very quiet on fells, did not see anyone else - quite a pleasant walk, with good views. (13km,600m).ger25/08/2018
Seemed so close, added this to previous fell. Enjoyed leisurely lunch in sun before heading back down Swindale with its' twinkling river. Spotted a sparrowhawk then later a stoat(or was it a mink?).Peak Rambler25/08/2018
Start ~ Hilton. On a Non Firing Weekend, via Swindale bridle way to Tinside Rigg and Long Fell. With Wombourne & Pat.steve hudson14/07/2018
Parked in Hilton and followed the good track past the bridge then branched off up Swindale Edge to the summit. It was very hot and sunny. This was my final Nuttall, No. 445! We continued across the moorland to Long Fell passing at least a dozen shells lying in the heather. Descended back to Swindale Edge then the track back to Hilton. With SH and PR.wombourne14/07/2018
With Jo, circular walk from Hilton. Took track to quarry on zigzags south east of Roman Fell, then crossed moor to summit, then across moor to Long Fell and Tinside Rigg. Returned down path/track alongside Swindale Beck and Scordale Beck. Weather; sunny, very warm, good visibility.amblerbob07/07/2018
Warm and sunny morning for the walk up from Hilton using the long and winding track. Then onto Tinside Rigg before heading back to Roman Fell which I descended NE down to Swindle Beck.Dugswell206/05/2018

First ascent of 2018. From Hilton Village on paths. Small cairn of large rocks on rough grass. Drizzle and fog. Remains of stone walls hut nearby. No ammo seen.Small snow patches.Denise 01/01/2018
From Hilton via Swindale Beck on bridleway and then off to summit. Mist and light rain so no views.MichaelF20/10/2017
Up via Swindale - this hill summit is only a couple of hundred yards from the bridleway which becomes a bit indistinct here.johnjennison08/07/2017
Easy walk up Swindale Edge, which was unbelievably well signposted. Left the public ROW at GR 7776 2001. Pretty cloudy on top of Tinside Rigg. Easy jaunt over to Long Fell where I was disconcerted to see a pickup truck parked nearby! Had a little explore of the mines and then picked up the track down. Managed to resist Roman fell which looked very tempting. Lots of shooting and exercises could be seen and heard away in the distance at Warcop base itself which kept me entertained, not that I needed it as the views were good.tsharp07/07/2017

Walked on my own from Hilton along Swindale Edge and Christy Bank then over Tinside Rigg, Long Fell and Roman Fell. Dry and pleasant. A bit breezy but the wind wasn't cold so it was fine. The walk up Swindale Edge is great, clear makers all the way. Make sure you check the access days for this fell as it is on Warcop MOD land.flockwatcher30/04/2017
From Hilton Village NY 73537 20761, via Christy Bank Bridle Path then onto Long Fell. Returned by same route.Westdenewalker29/04/2017
From Hilton w Jenx, free CP. Took the lane at first under Roman Fell and then a Quad track up the broad NW ridge, steepest towards top. Then in mist and on compass to Long Fell and Tinside Rigg. Great decent down the Bridleway and Swindale Beck and then the sublime Scordale.nordicstar08/01/2017
A nice little circuit. An interesting area.jenx08/01/2017
