Where the mountains reach the sea - and the wind blows wild and free - at the edge of reality - thats where I will be.

North Third Reservoir again
It was a lovely morning today and I was up with the larks walking round the North Third Reservoir again. Its one of my favourite local walks and nice to see the landscape turning green again after the winter browns. I have written about it before on the blog so will just post the photos to let you see the scenery I was walking through. Life can be so hard at times :-D

Lewis Hill and the North Third Reservoir
Although I love the open spaces of the hills, I also like a bit of variety for my walks. It had been a while since I wandered amongst trees so I tried to think of somewhere close to home that had an old forest of oak and beach trees....
Where moss and lichen grows in abundance....
Where the evergreen trees grow that thick and cover such a huge area that it is easy to get lost .....
Where silver birch grow in abundance on steep hillsides ...
Where I can let the dog off the lead with no fear of her chasing sheep....
Where there is a good chance of seeing roe deer, or at least finding lots of interesting scents if you are a dog ....
Where there is a trig point on top of a hill, surrounded with great views ....
Where there is lochs and burns...
Where there are lots of paths to follow...
Where there are lots of airy cliff views ...
Where the path weaves along the edge of the cliffs...
Where there are balancing boulders ....
Where you can stick a finger up at the world because it is Monday Morning and you are not working .....
I can only think of one place in Scotland like that and Im lucky that it is only four miles from my house.
I was walking on a four mile round trip of Lewis Hill and Suachie Craigs, at North Third Reservoir, near Stirling :-D
