Steps at Braehead
The mist had receded earlier, but, resurgent under a cloudless sky, it now reached almost to the top of the housing estates. The view is from the top of Braehead; Carman Hill and adjacent muirs can be seen in the right background.

Path leading down towards Braehead
Two different paths lead downhill from the point that is shown in Image; the last part of the more northerly of the two paths is shown here.
Both paths lead to this area, at the top of Braehead, where one of the access points of the community woodland is located (as indicated by some markers: Image).
See Image for the same view in winter, and for background details.

Pappert Well Community Woodland
The gate shown in this photograph is located at one of the three main entry points to Pappert Well Community Woodlands; see also Image
The nearer houses beyond the gate are in the Braehead area, while the more distant background houses are in other parts of the Vale of Leven. On the skyline, in the right-hand side of the image, are Carman Hill (Image) and the muirs that lie to its north.

Pappert Well Community Woodlands - markers
There are three main entry points to this area of community woodland, with a marker, or markers, at each one.
The back of the tallest of these three markers can just be made out, silhouetted against the snow, in the following image: Image (in that image, the markers are located in front of the wooden posts that are to the left of the gate).
For the markers at the other two locations, see Image and Image

Approaching Braehead
This picture was taken from the point where the path shown in Image turns to the right.
This last section of the path leaves the community woodland not far ahead, beside some markers (Image) that indicate one of the access points.
Another downhill path leads to the same point; see Image, which shows the end-point of both paths at the top of Braehead.
The body of water visible in the background of the present photograph is Loch Lomond.

Path leading down towards Braehead

Path above New Bonhill
As the map shows, this path through the community woodland is only just above the upper edge of the housing estates.
Throughout the area, plantations are laid out on areas of parallel ridges and furrows; these planted areas are often bounded by an embankment: here, one such embankment can be seen just to the right of the path.

Burn flowing over a path
The pool is pebbly and shallow, and it is easy to cross there. The 1:25000 map shows the course of the burn, and has the label "waterfalls" at this point, referring to the fall just above the path, and the one just below. Both appear in this picture, although the tree on the right makes it difficult to obtain a clear view of the waterfall there.
