Calkin Rig from the east.

 

 The summit area. The top is in deep heather on the skyline.

 
 A short flounder westward, and there is a trig point on Ewe Hill

An obscure top now all but buried in forestry. It still gives a good short walkif travelling through the Langholm area.

Spring had sprung and the glen to the north of the hill was full of birdsong and young lambs.

It was a race against the weather and we just got down before the weekend turned very wet. Not so much fun for the MBA work party that we were travelling to.
