Your Notes Head for NT 07512 10351 Park at hut room for several cars. Head initially for hart fell spa As gradient starts to descend on approach to the spa head up the slope on the sheep tracks 400m of the ascent is gained quickly Head for arthurs seat Eventually reach the ridge along hart fell craig Turn n'wly for cairn On descent follow fence I think this route is more enjoyable than going anti clockwise as the ascent is gained quickly then the rest of walk is mostly descent. Getting over the auchencat burn involves a crossing unfortunately the 2 logs are in a bad way,

Started at Blackshope Farm as opposed to walking right up the Glen, I decided to push up the steepest part of the hill first and then walk along the cliffs to the summit. Probably harder, but more interesting than walking through the glen and topping that way. Camped quarter of a mile away and reached the top early next morning. Nice relatively easy walk to White Comb, back into Boggy Bottum to reclaim my rucksack then up onto Saddle Yolk where I hoped to camp for the night. Unfortunately dark clouds were forming and rain was in the air, so head back to car at Blackshope. Great took 24hrs.

Approached this time from Blackshope Farm.Through the gate and headed NE. took the hill head on.Steep but height soon gained giving great views West over to Capel Fell.Croft Head and Andrew Whinney hill to the East.As more height is gaine Black Craig roars in to view and what a sight it is from here.Hound shoulder across the Glen has a double Coire with a scrambling gulley for the brave.Onwards to Saddle Yolk with a sharp Col seperating it from Under Saddle Yolk.The views all around continue to be impressive with Hart Fell now within sight.A large drop in to the valley and a hard pull up to the summit cairn and trig pillar of Hart Fell.Flat top and back on the circuit for the return.Nubbery Knoews.Falcon Craig are passed, great views of Saddle/Under Saddle yolk across the deep Glen.A small detour here takes in another Donald. Swatte Fell.Nether Coomb Craig.Hound Bank and finally Black Craig.Photo oportunities here of the entire walk.A very steep down to the Farm and done.Great Walk.

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.
