Overview

The walk starts from Neilston Railway Station, heads up Kirkton Road then turns onto a farm access road which also leads to the Snypes Dam, where we will have a coffee stop.

We then walk around part of the Dam then cut up to a forest track, after a short distance we start the climb up onto The Pad where we could [weather dependant] have lunch.

We then drop down the hill back to a forest track which we follow round to the next Dam, which is Craighall. We will walk 3 quarter's of the way round Craighall then pick up the forest track again which leads us to Kingston Road and back down to the Railway Station and the end of the walk.
