Cobbled road surfaces are often older than those covered with setts, and the latter largely replaced the former during the 19th Century. As a result, cobbled surfaces are relatively rare in Glasgow, much of which was built after setts became commonplace. This may explain why these ones can be found alongside the canal, which was constructed at the end of the 18th century.

An unusual view of the Maryhill Locks in the northwest of Glasgow. Part of the Forth and Clyde Canal, the locks were constructed in the 1780s. They're currently been worked on, so one of the basins is now empty of water, giving a change to see parts of them you'd never usually get to see. I bet there's some interesting stuff hidden in all that mud!
Last night was the start of the toad season! There were dozens of them on the tow path when I was out walking Max. Even spotted a newt!

Not bad for someone in their fifties who'd never really done any long-distance running before starting this challenge!

My long run today took me up along the Forth and Clyde. Canal, where there's always an interesting sight or two to be had, but this morning's run was a bit of a special one for me. For some still unknown reason (alcohol might possibly have been involved!), at the start of 2021 I set myself the seemingly unlikely target of running a half marathon around the streets of Glasgow every month for the next 60 months. Today, I completed number 60!

It's great to see these polychromatic brick former industrial buildings on the Forth and Clyde Canal in the Ruchill area of Glasgow brought back into use in a very sympathetic way. They were built around the 1870s and were once part of the Glasgow Lead and Colour Works.

Out with dad, trying to take some photos, but the weather is changing every few minutes.
Golden #autumn sun two minutes before I took this, then grey rain, & wind shaking more leaves from the branches, sunny again moments later.
