Large car park in Balloch just off the main street at the entrance to the park.  Whinny Hill walk, which is an extended add on to the park walk. I notice in some maps/booklets it's spelt Whinney Hill.   Heavy rain and storms the night before so the lower path beside the River Leven, wher ..read more

                                                  ALL PHOTOS CLICK FULL SCREEN   A water adventure this time as Alan has a small boat so we motored up the west coast of Scotland a few weeks ago.   Fresh snow on the mountains but in general it's been a very mild winter thus far in the UK which is a bonus for people struggling with excessive heating bills. We pi ..read more

                                           ALL PHOTOS CLICK FULL SCREEN This is Alan and myself driving up to the 'car park in the sky' above Paisley on the B775 which leads up to Gleniffer Braes public park. I read recently that the five best views of Scottish cities according to one popular newspaper was No 1:- Edinburgh from Arthur's Seat... No 2... Glasgow from Cathkin Braes...Stop!!!... at which point I was both happy and outraged. Happy because I knew it wasn't true yet would ..read more

                                                   ALL PHOTOS CLICK FULL SCREEN   One walk we did in the late Autumn of 2023 that I've only got around to posting now. A lovely day and a walk in Renfrewshire I hadn't done before which is an unusual event for me. Alan's Dad showed us this walk which runs round the mostly decommissioned Bishopton Royal Ordnance site. Being MOD propert ..read more

                                                    ALL PHOTOS CLICK FULL SCREEN. Ben Lomond in winter from Kilmacolm. It's been years since either Alan or myself visited Kilmacolm and the nearby Knapps Loch and Glen Moss. This is good however as it stops any over-familiarity with this area creeping in. I always take loads of photographs in this part of Inverclyde and Renfrewshire. Regional boundaries have changed here over time but in my own head I've always ..read more

As neither Alan or myself fancied getting soaked up a hill we decided on a flat walk from Newark Castle (Fyfe Shore. A small car park just a half km up river from castle, yet still next to the water's edge) Although we've both been in Port Glasgow numerous times neither of us had ..read more

Campsie Hills view above. We would also visit the timber basins at Firhill/Maryhill and the Claypits re-wilding project along with Ruchill Park, all reached along the canal at various stages ..read more

Brief spells of snow that did not last long followed by very mild conditions up to 12c degrees, followed by a cold week of minus 8c to 10c below freezing. Large person sized snowball here reminiscent of the ones designed to melt indoors in an art gallery. Youngsters do it for free outdoors e ..read more
