| From Linhope layby, through Linhope farm then straight up Lightning Hill. Followed the fence to Wether Law, Millstone Edge then to Cauldcleuch Head. Back to Millstone Edge then Tudhope Hill, Carlin Tooth, Bye Hill and Dod Hill. Back down to Linhope using the same descent as Smocks & Denim. Just shy of 12 miles, frozen ground made the going a lot easier | Gary Heath | 19/01/2024 |
| Parked in a handy space a couple of hundred metres E of Glenrief, where an ATV track leads immediately up the SW flank of Ellson Fell to it and its South Top. A nice curved ridge continues to Carlin Hill before rounding out to give easy access to Bye Hill and Dod Hill. From here we headed downhill in an easterly direction, picking up sheep trods and more ATV ruts to sheepfolds and a better track southwards along Sun Hope. Once reaching the road we easily detoured onto Tup Knowe and Butter Hill, finishing a grand day by taking in Crude Hill, where there is an ATV route from the NE off the main track. | summitter | 22/10/2023 |
| Parking in large layby on E side of A7, 150m N of start of track to Linhope (NT406014). Linhope Burn to big barn at NT419004, then ATV track up Wether Law, along ridge to Millstone Edge and on to Tudhope Hill. Descent over pt.483 and down to Sunhope Hass bealach. Steeply, directly, up Carlin Tooth (not as bad, or as long, as it looks), over Bye Hill and on to Dod Hill. Returned 400m SE to join ATV track which descends back to the earlier big barn (NE flank of Dod Hill is defended by high fencing around tree plantation). Learned what ridiculously steep gradients these ATVs can be driven up and down. | Isbjorn | 08/04/2023 |
