good wee trail. done it over 3 days. start to cambuslang, cambuslang to strathclyde park (near my home? then strathclyde park to new lanark. first 2 days were kinda duller as I just seen it as the decaying parts of Glasgow complete with vandalism etc. tried to look past it for the history part of it. after strathclyde park it was a great walk, more secluded countryside walks. well waymarked. can walk it easily with this app. only 4 stars due to the first sections. botnthat it's the apps fault.
Frequently asked questions for hikes in Scotland
Summers, typically June to August, offer the most hospitable hiking climate. Though occasionally rainy, the temperatures hover around a comfortable 15°C - 20°C, with up to 18 hours of daylight to fully exploit the trails. Careful monitoring of midge activity is vital for a hassle-free experience. https://www.livebreathescotland.com/midges-in-scotland/
Autumn brings a dazzling display of changing colours, but the weather, much like spring, can be erratic. Temperatures begin to drop, and daylight hours shrink rapidly, restricting hiking time. Winters are challenging with shorter days, snowfall, and icy trails. For the experienced, it presents a unique, exhilarating challenge. Check https://www.mountaineering.scot/. Best to avoid winter unless highly experienced.
