Some pictures from the Lowther Hills walk

Dropping down from the shooters track on Middle Moor toward the Mennock valley. The Dempster Path can be seen scarring the hillside on the far side of the valley.

 Rising towards the top of the Dempster Path.

 Rising on the side of East Mount Lowther. The sun and rain are sweeping eastward down the Nith Valley. The rain and hail hit us as we approached the top.

 The rain and hail splash into a puddle on top of East Mount Lowther. But it wasn't to last long and was gone as we dropped down to the Enterkine Pass.

 Hill fog closed in as we climbed to the summit of Lowther Hill where we stopped for lunch. As we walked along the road towards Green Lowther this fog broke up affording tantalising glimpses of the landscape beyond.

 The sun caught us on the summit of Green Lowther and the clear air gave excellent views. This one is to the north where we could see the snow-capped peaks of the southern highlands.

 Ian and Paul take in the view as we dropped off the top of Green Lowther heading for the rerservoir below.

 It was difficult not to take pictures on this descent. This is another one.
