08 In the picture above we are near the top of Comb Law looking pretty well due north. That's the line of the A702 running diagonally from left to right into the picture to join the M74 near Elvanfoot. Travellers on the M74 will be quite familiar with the strange T-shaped group of trees on the hillside in the distance right in the middle of the picture. Stowgill Dod is at the left side of the picture with Faugh next stop up the A702. Meikle Shag does not look so "meikle" (big) now as we look down on it catching the sunlight in front of Stowgill Dod. In the second picture we have moved the camera a few degrees to the west. The trees at Overfingland are now in the middle of the picture and Green Lowther is vertically above them in this picture as the cloud thins to let the sunlight through to the Lowthers. You can see where the SUW runs up from Overfingland over Comb Head and Cold Moss to Lowther Hill on the left of the picture. In the third picture I have zoomed in to Overfingland and Riccart Cleuch above it where we came down on the SUW/Lowther walk. Meikle Shag is the round white shape in the foreground.
