Kelvin walkway - lovely afternoon out
Posted: Mon May 30, 2016 2:31 pmHello and welcome to my very first walk report!
Sunday started as a beautiful day. I had been out on Saturday on another route in Ayr, so I didn't really want to go very far this time.
I took the subway to Partick and started the walk from the station, rather than starting from the Riverside museum. Soon, I arrived at the Kelvingrove Museum.

River Kelvin
And continued towards the Botanic Gardens...

Nice wee cascade
I was surprised to see there wasn't many people once I passed the Botanic Gardens.

Here I got a bit confused and instead of following the path I ended up in the middle of a field in the West of Scotland Science Park.

Found my way and continued walking towards the river. I have to say, I really loved some parts of this route, and hated many others. I don't think the paths are very well maintained, and there was rubbish as well.

Someone decided this must be a good place to throw their motorcycle away

The day was beautiful, I guess that fisherman was enjoying it too
Crossing the bridge next to the A879. This when I started to really enjoy this walk.

And it's time to say goodbye to River Kelvin and say hi to Allander Water...

I just needed to take the train to head back to Glasgow.

I hope you've enjoyed my first report. I certainly quite enjoyed the walk.
