| A round of the Moffat Hills before the snow blew in | PhilipChaston | 08/12/2022 |
| Took track behind Capplegill and followed it to end at a gate. Important to keep straight ahead on good track at this point and not deviate on minor ATV as we did. The main track can be followed to almost the summit. | Crumblie2 | 29/10/2022 |
| From Moffat, taking signed paths to reach Gallow Hill, then Hind Hill. Took forestry track NE to its end then short very steep climb to reach gentler slopes running NE to summit of Nether Coomb Craig. Continued to Falcon crag, camping a little below the top. Returned via Swatte Fell and its SW ridge to reach track, road and paths back to start. | RobertP | 24/09/2022 |
| 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 |
| Parked Capplegill to SE. Thru' gate NH 1435 0962. Track then up fence line to second gate at NH 1431 0967. Good track (mapped initially) all way up. Excellent walking | carole engel | 28/08/2021 |
| Blackhope round | Gary Heath | 23/08/2021 |
| First top on a circuit of Black Hope, from parking at NT 1470 0984 - with room for six cars. Had read many walk reports of horrible ascents to Nether Coomb Craig, heading up to the NE of Hang Gill. Decided to avoid that pain. Found perfect track all the way up. From gate SW of Capplegill farm at NT 1433 0959, track leads SW up Rabbit Brae to NT 1359 0909, before turning towards the summit. Much less steep route, on good dry track. Nether Coomb Craig, Swatte Fell, Falcon Craig, Hart Fell, Under Saddle Yoke, Saddle Yoke. Steep descent! | Toby-and-Dion | 31/07/2021 |
| From layby to SE for a round of Saddle Yoke, Under Saddle Yoke, Hart Fell, Falcon Craig, Swatte Fell and Nether Coomb Craig. | rhalstead | 28/06/2021 |
| Good parking NT 1543 1050. Field gate and steeply up over rough sheep pasture via 494m spot height to Saddle Yoke -> Under Saddle Yoke -> Cape Law -> Hart Fell -> Swatte Fell then across to here. Dropped down to Capplegill and along road to car for an 11 mile round. All Dumfries-shire hills on HB now ticked off. | jonglew | 29/05/2021 |
| small cairn at cliff edge in fog, sleet and wind. | Denise | 02/05/2021 |
| Parked by Blackshope cottage, W a short way along road, then through pasture and up hill E side of Hang Burn to Nether Coomb Craig, continuing along ridges to Swatte Fell, Falcon Craig, Hart Fell, E over Hartfell Rig up to near 709m spot, out and back to Cape Law, then S via Redgill Craig to Under Saddle Yoke and Saddle Yoke, descending down to Blackshope. | kdbennett | 27/09/2020 |
| From the community centre south of Newton, then northwards along the Annandale Way. Lost the path higher up the hill but a fortuitous stone then grass track took us directly to Pt.565 east of Spout Craig. The two Whitehope tops were surmounted easily enough, before a drop and steep climb up the NW face of Hart Fell. Falcon Crag, Swatte Fell and Nether Coomb Craig were quickly bagged on a gin-clear windless morning, returning to Swatte Fell for an easy descent on an ATV track back to the community centre via Blue Cairn and Mountainblow. Fab walk. About 4hrs. | summitter | 27/09/2020 |
| Escaped from the crazy weather that was forecast for the Northern half of Scotland, with John and Harrison, to hit up the Hart Fell horseshoe with Under Saddle Yoke and Swatte Fell (including tops Saddle Yoke, Falcon Craig and Nether Coombe Craig) - good visibility and conditions, if a little windy on the tops - 4hrs 1min in total. | mproudfoot | 12/09/2020 |

| The Hart Fell heart-shaped horseshoe to White Coomb. Started at Blackhope, up to Swatte Fell then Hart Fell, Under Saddle Yoke & White Coomb then back to the start. Included the Donald tops en route during the long, tough and often pathless hike but it was still a grand day out with good views. | Chris Mac | 22/09/2018 |
