10 In the picture above we are leaving the top of Coran of Portmark and you can see the undulations ahead of us on the ridge - not only up and down, but swinging from left to right too. The first hill on our route now is Bow which as you can see presents few problems. Beyond Bow you can see Meaul. Beyond Meaul the tops of Carlin's Cairn and Corserine are still lost in mist. Heading to the left (east) from Corserine in this picture you can see Corserine's north east shoulder called Polmaddy Gairy and in the distance beyond that you can see the top of Meikle Millyea. Cairnsgarroch is by the left edge of the picture but you can't see the saddle that lies between it and Meaul which we saw clearly on page 04.
In the second picture we are on Bow and now you can see the saddle between Meaul and Cairnsgarroch. You can also see the dark top of Carlin's Cairn now though Corserine is still flirting with the low cloud. The dark top on the left of the picture beyond the saddle is Craignelder, which is the end face of Polmaddy Gairy, You would come down that way on the green route shown on page 01.
The third picture gives us a view of the north end of both the Awful Hand and Dungeon ranges. Mouseover to see the names of the hills. The white pole in the the cairn in the foreground is interesting - it was on top of Coran of Portmark five years earlier as you can see on page 09 but we had been walking 27 minutes south from Coran of Portmark when this picture was taken.
