Lowther Hill

Last Sunday  a fellwo clubmate and I headed into the Leadhills. Its a loop I have done before but my young clubmate wanted to climb to the Radar unit (The Golf Ball) on Lowther Hill above Wanlockhead. It is a private road to the top but you can lift the bike over the barrier at the bottom and head up the steep climb. It was a tough one which steepens as you near the summit but at the top you are rewarded with views all the way to the Lake District.
The day gave me my biggest day of climbing on the British Isles and my second century ride of the year.
