Sun 6th June - Day 51, South Queensferry to Tillicoultry (25 miles)
Forth Rd Bridge from S Queensferry |
Determined to reach the Ochills I left at 07:15 to a similar day to yesterday, cloudy with occasional sunny breaks.
Crossing over the Forth Road Bridge I dropped down onto the B981 then took the minor road into Rosyth. A footpath led to the A985 where I took another minor road into Dunfermline.
After 8 miles of road walking I was looking forward to the 11 miles of path/cycleway along the dismantled railway line to get me to Clackmannan.
Looking over Gartmorn Dam to the Ochils |
I was really feeling the weight of the rucsac so I was stopping every hour to eat something to reduce the weight !!
After lunch I felt very tired and I had trouble keeing my eyes open while I was walking so I took extra breaks, the tiredness passed after a while.
Just before I reached Clackmannan I turned off the cycleway and took a footpath to Gartmorn Dam,

Camping on the Ochils |
It didn't matter too much tonight if the ground was uneven because my inflatable rollmat was holding air again.
890 miles completed.
