IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
Cordale Avenue, DUMBARTON, G82 4QE

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.

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!).

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

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.

Just upstream of Renton. The river forms a big loop here with a narrow neck. Using the cycle path you leave the river and within a few metres rejoin it again after cutting the neck of the loop.

The picture was taken from the foot of some steps: Image The water level was low after a long spell of dry weather. For the view from the top of the grassy bank, see Image

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.

Relatively new build houses in the Vale.

This is part of the same recently-upgraded route as shown in Image
