Under Saddle Yoke

Under Saddle Yoke is a hill in the Moffat Hills range, part of the Southern Uplands of Scotland. Despite its name, it is 10m higher than its neighbouring top, Saddle Yoke. Located in a dramatic position on a small, grassy ridge in between two deep glens, Blackhope and Carrifran, it awards excellent views into the rest of the Moffat Hills and the Ettrick Hills opposite. Although incomparable to the Scottish Highlands and not particularly precipitous, the ridge between and atop the Yokes is the narrowest summit ridge in the Southern Uplands. A popular round known as the Hart Fell Horseshoe begins near Blackshope and normally ascends Nether Coomb Craig first, then passing over Swatte Fell, Hart Fell and looping round Hartfell Rig to the Saddle Yokes before the descent.

gollark: All the federated chat things seem to be doomed to never get any use because something something network effects and somewhat less convenient user experience.
gollark: It seems like much of biology is accursedly complicated interlocking evolved systems, but also a bunch of recent shortcuts let you leverage the mechanisms it already has to do things quite conveniently.
gollark: Maybe you need a few examples to prompt it with.
gollark: Humans are missing lots of senses other animals have. IR/UV vision, good smell, magnetic compass support, the weird electric field detector in I think sharks, polarised light sensing from cuttlefish, working low light vision (via actually having a sane eye design), probably others.
