hello there,

For this video I cycled on NCN75 from Glasgow to Uddingston on Sunday the 24th March talking about some points of interest along the way. These are Glasgow cathedral, Glasgow tidal weir, Cuningar loop, Carmyle viaduct, Blantyreferme anti aircraft battery, Clyde railway viaduct and Uddingston viaduct, Bothwell castle and the David Livingstone birthplace. It wasn’t windy that day but my mic picked up lots of blustery wind so lots of my audio from the ride didn’t make it. My phone ran out of battery at the end so my Strava didn’t save properly although the route is in the video at ( ) as a google map screenshot

Share.

  1. I love seeing all the different paths you cycle in and around Glasgow , with the added bonus of the drone footage and your chats about the historic landscapes you pass on your journeys , fab video yet again ! Keep them coming 👏👏

  2. Great video as per. I always seem to make similar mistakes crossing over to Cambuslang. I still haven’t found the way out to Bothwell since I did it on foot years ago, even then I went round in at least one circle.
    I’ll have another go this year.

  3. Great video. Very informative as always. Cycled this a couple of times. However the part between uddingston and track (back roads) can be a bit daunting especially when traffic is heavy.

  4. The black you see on the trees near bonds and distilleries is caused by Whisky Fungus (Baudoinia compniacensis), which thrives wherever there is alcohol in the air.

  5. That was scary I’ve been looking at riding from the source of the Clyde to Dumbarton and how off road I can do it. Just love that David Livingston statue and the minute I saw it it screamed Harryhausen, I’ve wanted to see Bothwell Castle as well as I’ve never gone that far only to Cambuslang.
    Just so many interesting places in the area.
    Glasgow Cathedral also looks stunning at night, I did some photographs of it when visiting someone in the infirmary. I really need to have a wee look inside.

  6. Instead of dealing with the violence everyone loses access. It's the same as barriers on paths for motorcyles. Berlin just builds third spaces everywhere…I bet there are no third spaces in these areas, hence the violence over competition for a third space. make it accessible and and BUSY and Passively secure and violence should disappear. I also think communities have changed. The small amount of "Gang" stuff in Govanhill near me dissolved when Park was made more visible from Street and it became really busy with families and children and Park features were upgraded.

  7. Would such a great day out if just sorted bit between Newton and Uddingston. FYI I know there is no trains between Newton and Uddingston think you need to get on at Cambuslang instead
