Day 60 Beecraigs country park to Falkirk Wheel

Today was a much shorter days walk, around 15 miles, so we had a later start to the day. It was lovely at our campsite this morning the sun was shining and we had a nice breakfast sitting outside the tent. We followed forest paths through the country park and then on to the Union canal, which was very nice, easy walking. We took a trip into Falkirk centre via a very nice park, where we stopped for coffee and lunch, and then back on to the canal path to our camp for the night, the Wheel. It is a little unusual and when we first walked in looked a bit unnerving. However we found the owner and were pointed in the direct of the camping field, we seem to be the only ones here and to be fair the facilities are quite good and nice and clean. As today is our 39th wedding anniversary we are having a trip on the Falkirk wheel and then a meal in a restaurant overlooking the Falkirk wheel, so I have great hopes for the entertainment value of the Falkirk wheel.
PS We were first tent on site and a load of kids from caravans came up to our tent and tried to go in thinking it was a plaything. I said that’s our house you can’t go in there, they replied No it’s not where do you sleep 😂😂😂😂Read more
