Take the High Road?

Wednesday's walk with Cumbernauld & Kilsyth Ramblers was along the River Leven path from Dumbarton to Balloch. We parked at Loch Lomond Shores then took the train to Dumbarton and, after a brief visit to the castle (we didn't go in), walked back to Loch Lomond.

It rained steadily for most of the walk and no-one was in any mood to take photos (or wait for those who did!) Although photo opportunities were limited, we were rather puzzled by these direction signs. Both were on the same post, pointed in the same direction and along the same path / cycle-way but, confusingly, indicated different distances to the same destinations.

We preferred the sign that said five more miles to our destination; that was long enough in these wet conditions.
