Hello!

I'm Tom and I live in Glasgow. Been lurking/reading/productively procrastinating on WH for a while now! Great site, incredibly useful, and I love everyone's pictures of Scotland.
I'm planning to get a hill in every week or so this summer (to feart to go up in winter- need to sharpen up my skills and invest in the gear) but I've still got plenty of options for new hills within easy reach of Glasgow that i've not been up yet. I'll put together the odd walk report- especially for interesting walks which are accessible from Glasgow by public transport- gotta save the planet!

Walk on,

We have a 1930s (or even 1920s book) by Glasgow Pedestrian that we often used for hills if not for routes. I see it has now been re-printed so you could follow in his (almost certain to be his then) footsteps
