29 The three pictures on this page were taken within two minutes of each other and therefore show three views from the same spot. We have now passed over the top of Carlavin hill and are just starting our descent towards Talla. In the picture above we are looking ENE towards the Megget Reservoir. The dark hill running across the picture slightly to the right of centre is Nickies Knowe with Talla East Side on the right edge of the picture. So that is the ridge we went up earlier in the day and you can see Dead for Cauld to the left of Nickies Knowe.
Looking SW in the second picture over the top of Carlavin Hill and Molls Cleuch Dod, the route we have just come, we can see White Coomb. Mouseover to see the names of the hills.
In the third picture, swinging the camera a few degrees further to the right than in the second picture we see the now familiar form of Great Hill with Saddle Yoke showing behind it. We can also see a little bit of the top of Swatte Fell - the thin dark shape on the right edge of the picture behind Cape Law (which is catching the sun).
