Day 15 - Lanark to Balloch - along the Clyde and into Glasgow

Another excellent day weatherwisw. A good run into Larkhall and on to Uddingston. Some parts very busy. At Uddingston we joined NCN route75 which quickly took us down to the Clyde. Such a contrast to the busy roads. Very few people and a good, clearly marked route. It got busy as we got closer to the centre. We came across a diversion due to a new bridge building. Here a long stretch af the builders fencing had been pulled Dow onto the path which made it impossible to ride. After this we began to see the city and all of a sudden we appeared close to the centre. A great way to enter a big city. Along past the SNEC and lunch. Out to Bowling, alongthe canal and then north to Loch Lomond. Balloch was very busy but we soon found our B&B. A very good day. Fingers crossed for weather tomorrow.
Would a bigger bike help?

  1. You certainly seem to be soaking up the miles! As temps. here hit 28 deg.I hope you're enjoying equally balmy weather as you head north - make the most of it! Slept in the west wing to try it out - why didn't you say that bed is SO hard!! Loving the blog - we're with you every turn of the pedal. M&j
