As a beginner I found precisely zero caches lol 😂 but it's another reason to get out and about! There supposedly about 6 Geocaches on this section of the NCN!

Random wander, with some local previously un-walked woodland. Cool and Bright Conditions. Picture of the Old Glassworks Cone in Alloa. The only surviving example built in the 19th century (1825) it's a listed building and scheduled monument and sits amongst the modern works.

Tour & Explore to North Third. Followed a pretty rough off road trail section along the side of the Bannock Burn which runs parallel with Gateside Road. This involved some "GOAP" (Get off and Push!) :-)

Just how much rain has fallen lately? The swollen River Devon as it terminates into the River Forth at Cambus.

Out in the rain for some local exploring, found a route to the area behind the Forthbank recycling centre on the river Forth. Popular area with bird watchers. Spotted a person working on the Pylons, can't imagine that was comfortable!
