I'm in the process of trying to organise a Winter walk around the Crookston/Pollok/Mosspark areas of Glasgow. If anyone is interested in tagging along, the Date/Time is open to discussion, but it will be during the Christmas Fortnight (27th Dec-6th Jan) excluding the obvious dates (Hogmany/New Years Day).
As well as travel arrangements that will need to be made, I will be travelling by train from Glasgow Central to Crookston Station (the travel time is only about 15 mins and the price of a return is about £2.50) and will be returning from Mosspark Station to Glasgow Central, The walk start can also be reached by bus along Paisley Road West alighting at Crookston Road.
The Places of interest on this Walk will be:-
Ross Hall Park with it's Ruins and Hidden Caves.
The River Cart walkway around to the Old Leverndale Hospital.
Crookston Castle with its fantastic views from the top.
And finally the Pollok Water Tower in all it's brutalist Glory.
I have put a map here:
(>Click Me<) so you get a rough idea of the route, Which is not as long as it looks on the map! It will be easily covered in around 3-4 hours and a pair of boots would be advisable.
As Always, the route is subject to deviation, as other walks have proved in the past.
Anyway, If anyone is up for it, a show of hands Please.
Cheers, Alex P.
