| Parked at Blackhope on the A708, headed up the braken covered slope on the right hand side of the Hang Gill. Seen a goat on his own that let me get within 20m. By the time I reached the top of Nether Coomb Craig, the mist had started to clear, leaving blue skies behind. Finding the summit of Swatte Fell, involved a walk west along the stone dyke. Falcon Craig has a wee cairn west of the fence line. Hart Fell (a repeat hill for me) has a classic trig pillar. The walked around to the yokes, involved a drop into the boggy valley south of Cape Law, above Whirly Gill, but there is a clear path through it, that keeps you relatively high. Once on Under Saddle Yoke, the views into Carrifan showed the rewilding project is really taking hold. Short ascent to Saddle Yoke, then the descent back to Blackhope, during which I seen a flock of 8 goats. Dry all day, 06:10hrs all in. | chillyman8 | 10/09/2022 |

| Private No Parking signs at Blackshope, so parked in layby 200m NE. From Capplegill a good ATV track sidles SW up the hillside at an amenable angle, then NNE almost to the top of Nether Coomb Craig. ATV continues on over Swatte Fell, Falcon Craig and Hart Fell before descending to col at NT133142. From col a path sidles slightly upwards along the W flank of Raven Craig for Under Saddle Yoke and Saddle Yoke. The descent SSE from Saddle Yoke is steep slippery grass | Isbjorn | 13/10/2021 |
