Overview

This walk starts in Milton of Campsie and takes us up to Clachan of Campsie, skirting Lennoxtown and back to Milton of Campsie. The route is very varied, takes us through the grounds of the Schoenstatt Spiritual Retreat Centre and has good views of the Campsie Hills.

If you would like to come on this walk, please contact the leader from March 15 onwards.

The terrain is mixed with some sections through fields and woodland and other stretches along the Strathkelvin Railway Path. There are a couple of stiles to cross (one of them is more like a gate and so a bit of agility is required) and there are also some overgrown concrete steps to go up.

We'll stop at Clachan of Campsie for lunch and, weather permitting, before that for a tea break. Please bring drinks and snacks.

Please note this walk was originally scheduled for January 18 but had to be cancelled due to a family bereavement. Those booked on the original walk should re-book in the normal way.
