Kevin Foster walked up Long Fell on August 26th, 2018 [from/via/route] Hilton. [with] By myself. [weather] Rain followed by rain then more rain. - This walk is in the Warcop training area (WTA) & so the number of access days are strictly limited. The approach from Hilton up the Scordale valley & then along Swindale edge was delightful & route finding almost to the top of Tinside Rigg itself was made easy by the guide posts dotted along the route. The small cairn marking the summit of Tinside Rigg at spot height 624m wasn't in doubt. The top of the next nuttall Long Fell could have been one of two but I settled for the spot height at 622m marked by an artillery shell which must have been placed there surely? The toughest part of the walk was the descent then pathless climb to the summit of Roman Fell across rough grass, heather & bog. The summit being marked by an ancient cairn & wind shelter that's not on the maps.
Christine Shepherd climbed Long Fell on April 30th, 2017 [from/via/route] Walked from Hilton along Swindale Edge & Christy Bank then over Tinside Rigg, Long Fell & Roman Fell. [with] On my own [weather] Dry & 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.
