IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
Gallagher Way, DUMBARTON, G82 4DF

Relatively new build houses in the Vale.

This photograph was taken in the middle of the Cordale area of Renton; for more information, see Image About halfway up the right-hand side of the photograph, Jackson Place leads off to the right; the last-cited link explains who is commemorated by that street name.

This is a view over the same part of the route as shown at Image, but looking in the opposite direction. The present photograph was taken from near the Image at Cordale Point. The houses of the New Cordale estate can be seen ahead, with Image (Image) visible on the hillside in the background.

The photograph was taken from the top of Image, and is a view along the buildings on Main Street. Note the wall just to the left of the road. The name Main Street applies not just to the road beside which these buildings stand, on the near side of the wall, but also to the main road for traffic; that road is on the other side of the wall, and runs in the same direction.

Walking 'the wrong way' (from Balloch southward to Dumbarton) I did a lot of clapping and cheering as the brave souls nearing the end of their marathon from Hampden passed me on their way to Balloch. See Image for details (and how to get involved next time!).

The postbox has an E VII R cipher and is located at the junction of Cardross Road (right foreground) and Main Street.

This is National Cycle Network route 7, as seen from the foot of Stirling Street. The houses visible to the left are part of the New Cordale estate. For a detail hidden among the vegetation at the foot of the pillar on the left, see Image The cycle route closely follows the river here, but, not far ahead, it cuts across the neck of Cordale Point (Image) in order to avoid a lengthy diversion (the route does likewise at nearby Dalquhurn Point: Image). For a view along the same section of the route, but in the opposite direction, see Image

Near Renton - the walkers march northward with only about three miles to go. See Image for links.

The mark is at the base of the pillar that appears on the left in Image, where there is even, conveniently, an arrow pointing down to its location, though the mark itself would have been hidden by vegetation when that picture was taken. According to OS records, this third-order cut bench mark is 0.3 metres above ground level, and 6.693 metres above Newlyn datum. For more on bench marks, and for explanations of terminology used above, see the following shared description, written by another contributor.
