Yin and Yang..



Light and shade, good and evil, hill and glen - it's all a question of balance as the Moody Blues observed.

So today it was a glen - Alva Glen if you must know.




The burn, which cuts through a line of weakness in the Ochils scarp, provided drinking water and power for the mills in the town.















Smashin' wee walk with quite a steep climb up out of the glen to the viewpoint







The top of the path and a view of the cave. You can loup the fence here and continue up the pass, but I opted for deferred gratification on that one

The information board says 45 minutes up and 30 minutes down. I did the round trip in a leisurely 2 hours. What is this life, if, full of care......... . Indeed

  1. Leisurely is what it's all about, I have decided after far too long. Sometimes I'm tempted to throw my watch away like Peter Fonda and Dennis Hopper only I can't ride a motorbike.
    Video's great. Not come across that one before OM.
