03 Here is the view up the Blackhope Glen as we climb Saddle Yoke. The snow level started around the 450 metres level. That's Black Craig in the left foreground of the picture. Falcon Craig is beyond that with Harfell Rig (in snow) at the top of the glen.
As I neared the top of Saddle Yoke a snow squall coming at me from the top had me scurring to get a jacket on.
The first picture was taken at 10.07 and the second at 10.36.
