Clyde Falls Walkway

[Maggie28]

Do any of you guys go there?

I was up there in the summer trying out the new camera for the waterfall shots
and saw a small group od bird watchers and photographers with their big fancy zoom lenses. Show offs

I think it was in June. Birds were hatching so the pathway on the other side was closed so as not to disturb them.
I think it ws Peregrine's?

Anyway, any of you guys go there on a regular basis or now and again?

I'm not up there as often as I would like thats for sure!
There are Peregrines that have nested there for numerous years now and there is a camera to the nest as well as a volunteer watch carried out to protect them.

Last time I went to the Clyde falls walkway, I had a broken toe and a torn tendon which was a result of a fall off a kerb in Cyprus. I was sober

So I was not at my best for that particular trail that day. Had my mind set on going to take pics of the waterfall and that was it. I ended up walking to the other side, once I realised I couldn't clamber down to the main waterfall.
I clambered down to the smaller falls on the way back, I suffered later on for that,

Always intended to go back and spend more time there.
