  • Cycling tour around northern Glasgow

    Cycling tour around northern Glasgow

    Glasgow, Alexandra Parade – Glasgow, Riddrie – Stepps – Kirkintilloch – Milton of Campsie – Balgrochan – Campsie Glen – Haughhead – Strathblane – Milngavie – Bearsden – Glasgow, Maryhill –  Glasgow, Firhill – Glasgow, Port Duncan – Glasgow, Royston – Glasgow (my destination)

    The bike tour lasted only a few hours, I recommend cycling in the order given due to the number of downhill and lower altitude. The photos were taken with the camera placed on the Huawei Honor 7 mobile phone. I use it mainly in the field when there is no space and time to use the DSLR camera.

  • Cycling along the Glasgow Heritage Trail

    Cycling along the Glasgow Heritage Trail

    I often go cycling by bike for short travel to the centre city (Glasgow). I often try to visit museums and take photos from the best side.

    Glasgow Heritage Trail is a self-guided tour that takes you through the history and culture of Scotland’s largest city. You can explore the architectural gems, the artistic legacy, the industrial heritage and the social movements that shaped Glasgow over the centuries. The trail covers 12 sites of interest, from the medieval cathedral to the modern Riverside Museum. You can start at any point and follow the signs and plaques. The trail takes about 3 hours to complete, but you can also stop and enjoy the attractions, cafes and shops you encounter. Glasgow Heritage Trail is a great way to discover the rich and diverse story of this vibrant city.

  • A bike tour from Glasgow to Loch Lomond

    A bike tour from Glasgow to Loch Lomond

    Encouraged by the previous trip I decided to take a longer cycling tour. I was riding a bike from Glasgow to Balloch (Loch Lomond)  by Dumbarton. During the tour, I stopped over the bay in Dumbarton where I made short a lunch break.

    A bike tour from Glasgow to Loch Lomond is a great way to explore the scenic countryside of Scotland. The route is about 40 miles long and follows mostly flat or gently rolling roads, with some optional detours to visit historic sites and natural attractions. You can start from the city centre of Glasgow and cycle along the River Clyde, passing by landmarks such as the Riverside Museum, the Science Centre and the SSE Hydro. Then you can head north-west towards Dumbarton, where you can see the impressive Dumbarton Castle on a rocky outcrop. From there, you can follow the cycle path along the Forth and Clyde Canal, which offers a peaceful and picturesque ride. You can stop at Bowling Harbour to admire the boats and the canal locks, or visit the Auchentoshan Distillery to sample some whisky. The final stretch of the tour takes you to Balloch, the gateway to Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park. You can enjoy the stunning views of the loch and the surrounding mountains, or take a boat trip to explore the islands. You can also visit the Balloch Castle Country Park, which has a beautiful garden and a historic castle. A bike tour from Glasgow to Loch Lomond is a rewarding and enjoyable experience that will give you a taste of Scotland’s culture and nature.

  • Bike trip along the Forth and Clyde Canal

    Bike trip along the Forth and Clyde Canal

    One of the first longer routes I have cycled back and forth in one day. The length of the road is approximately 52 km, starting from Glasgow to Bowling via National Cycle Route No 7. One-way travel is mostly by the banks of the Fourth & Clyde Canal. Return along the Clyde River through Clydebank, Yoker, Whiteinch and the cycle path through Green Park, Alexandra Parade to Riddrie.

    One of the most enjoyable ways to explore the scenic landscapes of Scotland is to take a bike trip along the Forth and Clyde Canal. This historic waterway connects the east and west coasts of the country, passing through many towns, villages and attractions along the way. You can cycle the entire length of the canal, which is about 56 miles, or choose a shorter section that suits your fitness level and time availability. The canal path is mostly flat and well-maintained, making it suitable for cyclists of all ages and abilities. You will also find plenty of places to stop for refreshments, rest or sightseeing, such as the Falkirk Wheel, the Kelpies, the Antonine Wall and the Glasgow Science Centre. A bike trip along the Forth and Clyde Canal is a great way to experience the history, culture and nature of Scotland in a fun and active way.
