05 In the picture above we are now high enough to see the whole layout and even catch a glimpse of the elusive farmhouse through the trees.
As we get higher we also begin to get good views to the north and the south west. In the first picture below we are looking N at Carrifran Gans (centre of the picture) and Saddle Yoke on the left - both seen over the lower slopes of Bodesbeck Law. As mentioned earlier our return route will bring us down the far side of the gully that you see in the foreground.
In the second picture below we are looking SW down Moffatdale towards where it runs into Annandale. The white top that you see in the distance right of centre is Queensberry and the hills that you see to the right of it are the Durisdeer hills.
