I was thinking of the extreme points - as in the eight points - or more if it pleases.

e.g.
northern area

southern area

I don't think there will be any swimming or suicidal dashes across motorways invloved although the most easterly point lies on a canal and railway line. The Carmunnock point would be a good walk I think, fresh air good views etc.

Sorry Icecube, But i'm really not getting this. I think everyone else is kiddin on they're gettin it...but they're really not!

As far as i can make out, i'm gonna be photographing a Electricity Tower, a fence post, two dugs humpin, a burnt oot motor, a sheep, a washing line full of knickers, an alky winchin his smack head burd and a nice hoose in Bearsden.

Its not great!! :?

Hidden Glasgow breed & butter Knightmare! ::):

My suggestion is only that, a suggestion, something to do and something that has probably never been done before [okay maybe because it could be deemed pointless] but even though the places in question might not be as spectacular as a Highland glen they most certainly are the current marches of the city of Glasgow and so might be relevant to people interested in the less well known parts of it.

We already did it, but is was the ancient boundary we followed & we only got a third of the way, if that.

Sorry for butting in, KN.

I think you are secretly interested in this proposal Knightmare but are surpressing it because of some previous negative experience involving points - aka - sharp instruments, maybe a jag @ the doctors?

Damn it...was it that obvious? I genuinely am interested to hear whats been happening with this, but my interest manifests itself in a belligerent fashion which i cannot control....think it might have been the jag at the Doctors! :o

Sorry Icecube, this really wouldn't be my thing at all. We'll be photographing the city's best Prostitution spots next.

Besides... i think you'd be looking at a good £40.oo for petrol. :D


I'm quite up for photographing the city's best prostitution spots . . as it happens.
