| Almost there. |

| This handy building made an excellent shelter from the wind. |

| Group on Green Lowther. |
 |
| The twitcher was today's leader. |
Today Sunday September 2nd eleven of us travelled to a place called
Over Fingland which is beyond Durisdeer on the
A702. Most of us had climbed
Lowther Hill (725M) before, but today our leader had worked out a new route which would take in the
Southern Upland Way (SUW) over Laght Hill (507M)and Cold Moss (628M).Fairly soft boggy conditions tested some of the group as we started to climb on a warm sunny windy morning to take us to the summit and eventually to
Green Lowther(732M) with all its strange aerials on the top. After a lunch stop we made our way down over Stowgill Dod (547M) where once again we experienced quite soft conditions with a few tussocks thrown in for good measure. Once back at the start we all agreed this 8 mile route was quite challenging with a vote of thanks given to today's leader.
Looking at that posed group picture, I can't see an ounce of excess weight. Must be a group of professionals. !
