We are the Strathkelvin Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.

We will be walking in the Clyde Muirshiel Regional Park starting at the Greenock Cut Visitor Centre Car Park with a gentle climb up open hillside to reach the summit of Dunrod Hill. On a clear day you'll be treated to views over Greenock and the Clyde to Dunoon and the hills of Cowal, the Isle of Bute and the Cumbraes. Following an easy descent we'll be crossing open moorland to join the path that follows the Greenock Cut, a channel constructed to transport water to Greenock. We'll take a slight detour off the main path to visit Reservoir 8, one of many small reservoirs hidden from the main route, before returning to the car park.
Whilst the path following the Greenock Cut is good and usually reasonably dry underfoot the open hillside can be very wet and boggy in places so come prepared for both walking conditions.
