Up in Appleby for the Sunday and with a Warcop non firing day it's always worth a walk on their ranges.

Since I completed the English Hewitts/Nuttalls, Tinside Rigg and nearby Long Fell had both been upgraded to Nuttall status -so worth a visit now.

A grey day, windy and pretty cold but clear.

Delfekirk Scar ahead - this is the hill to the right of Murton Pike and in the shooting area

Now into the danger zone with Roman Fell ahead

Roman Fell with Tinside Rigg behind it

The path - not always clear underfoot but waymarked occasionally - climbs along the Northern edge of Scordale

After roughly dropping down into Scordale (I lost the path) I am now in Upper Scordale

Scordale Head - which can always be recognised by the large peat hag

I then headed back down Scordale - always an interesting valley to walk through

Heading up the side valley of Swindale

Striking Roman Fell again

Upper Swindale - the path is good at this point but soon peters out and s replaced by multiple way markers.

Tinside Rigg summit with Wild Boar Fell visible - you have to leave the PROW for this....but not by much. Meaning it's a little less illegal than Roman Fell, Little Fell etc

Long Fell ahead - the other Nuttall summit on Tinside Rigg and with very little reascent between.

Cairn on Long Fell - could be the summit

As could this bit of ammo exposed on a grassy knoll - I wasn't measuring knolls though. Little Fell (which is surely the parent fell) in view

Back in Swindale with the waymarkers visible

Lower Scordale
