Mountain Description
|
|
|
Hart Fell, visible from the M74, is a broad rolling hill located N of the town of Moffat, . To the N, W and S it has easy to moderate slopes giving easy access. However the S slopes of the E ridge (Saddle Craigs) and the NE slopes of the S ridge (Hartfell Craig and Falcon Craig) form the rocky walls of a deep corrie (Black Hope). The S ridge offers the two primary ascent routes, either from the south-west via Arthur's Seat, or from the S via Blue Cairn and Swatte Fell. N.B. the latter route takes you close to crags. Access from the W via Annanhead hill and Whitehope Knowe is also possible.

Hart Fell
|
This route to Hart Fell starts on the path leading to Hartfell Spa, thereafter it is on easy slopes. Navigation is simple as it is a walk up the slopes on one side of a valley and down the slopes on the other. It does however take you close to crags.

Climbed with Ellen on 25/05/08. Took the route up Hart Fell spa, which involved a lot of scrambling, some of it being quite tricky given the rocks were often loose. After that it was a straightforward ascent although it was VERY windy at the top, and we returned via Swatte Fell and Blue Cairn.
