Overview

Fairly flat walk. We take the 77 from stance 45 at bus station and alight at Kelvingrove Museum, then along Kelvin Way to Botanic Gardens for a short break and toilet stop. There are 50 steps up to toilet area.  We then descend these steps and continue on the paths to Forth & Clyde canal. From here, we follow the tarmac canal paths to Clydebank shopping centre. There are plenty of paths from canal that will take you to a bus or train route, if you wish to leave the walk early. 

Return to city centre from bus or train. 

To book your place, text Anne M on 07719 290042 and remember to include your name.
