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.SS24/04/2021
Parked at entrance to Twislehope Farm. Din Fell, Ewe Hill, Scawd Bank and Wetherhorn Hill.PGCE11/03/2021
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.jonglew22/01/2021
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.summitter30/11/2019
Last hill on a circuit Ewe Hill, Hartsgarth Fell, Scawd Bank, Wetherhorn Hill. Very soggy crossing from Scawd. Steep descent to Twistlehope, then past the barking hounds and the lane back to the road.Aye Jimmy10/02/2019
Easy parking by entrance to Twislehope at 451968 & up Din Fell, Roan Fell & Scawd Bank. From Scawd Bank, back to col, over fence & along ATV track to Grain Head - Picked up a trod over col & then over rough grass & heather to the summit cairn. Descended NE & then SE over short grass to Fauch Grain - ATV track down valley & then farm track back to car. (S)gerrybowes26/06/2018
