01 This web gallery is a companion to the Lowther Hill by Thirstane and Wether Hill web gallery and I have used the same map in this gallery as in that one. We followed the red route in that case. Here we will be going over Wether Hill and Lowther Hill again but this time we will get there via Steygail (pronounced Steygyle) and we will return by the Enterkin Pass.
In this web gallery I have used images from two quite different walks on quite different days.

The Steygail section of the walk (shown in yellow in the map above) was done on 22nd October 2003.
The Enterkin Pass section (shown in blue in the map above) is shown in the winter conditions of St Valentine's Day 2000.

The ancient bridle path which leads to the Enterkin Pass follows the line of the fence which runs across the foreground of the picture below. Of the larger hills that you can see, Lowther hill is the one with the ball on top, Steygail is on the right of the picture and Thirstane is on the left.
