Meikle Bin

I headed to Meikle Bin today a small hill in the Carron Valley. There is a good car park at Todholes

 
There was an inviting track through the woods
 

 
and good views of the Carron Water
 
 
I managed 45 mins of slow up hill walking without have to stop to get my breath. Really good to see my fitness has improved so much. I used to avoid hills
 




 
I decided to not continue to the top although I don't think I was too far away. I will definitely do it next time

 
Great to see such a blue sky

Old Windmill, Fishcross

I walked another part of the Devon Way from Tillycoultry to Fishcross. The Ochils looking beautiful.


Its a good path easy to follow






The information boards are good and tell you how many miles are between points



This is an old windmill which was changed into a Dovecote. Impressive looking building
