A round of fells from Twislehope. Very warm | Alan Caine | 18/07/2022 |
Parked outside entrance to Twislehope. Immediately through the gates there’s a footbridge on the left. Straight uphill to meet fence and followed it up. Gate at top leading to summit trig. Solo. | Dangerous Dave | 25/07/2021 |
From Twistlehope | Crib Goch | 06/06/2021 |
Parked at farm entrance then out track past pack of baying hounds. Cut across heather to Din Fell then back again to track all the way to Roan Fell. Then out and back to Scawd Bank and Wetherhorn Hill. Didn't go off ridge as there is a new deer fence which may or may not cause trouble. | SS | 24/04/2021 |
Parked at entrance to Twislehope Farm. Din Fell (trig and nearby bumps), Ewe Hill, Scawd Bank and Wetherhorn Hill. | PGCE | 11/03/2021 |
Parking for couple of cars available at start of the track to Twislehope (NY 4511 9679). From there crossed the river and followed fenceline up to near top of Common Cleuch then across to here. On to Roan Fell. | jonglew | 03/08/2020 |
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 |

W Jenx from road head parking, ample room. Easy up track as Viewfinder. New extension looks like grouse moor road, better than the wet bog! Continued down with Ewe Hill and Din Fell trig before direct descent to car. | nordicstar | 08/11/2013 |
