We are the Strathkelvin Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.

We park in the carpark at the back of St Kessogs church in Blanefield,
We then walk the pipeline track towards Killearn, named the pipeline track because it contains the pipe that brings the water from Loch Katrine to Milngavie reservoir,
Just short of Killearn we veer right onto a LRT that increases our height this will be at a steady pace. We then reach the path up onto Dumgoyne, because we have been increasing height it is only 5 minutes up although rocky.
On the way down we take a gentle sloping path on the other side and down onto a sheep track along the foothill of the Campsie's before a drop down to the pipeline track again,
Its then a walk back on this track to Blanefield and the cars.

For those walkers who do not wish to tackle the short, but steep, ascent/descent of Dumgoyne, Aileen will lead this group around the back of Dumgoyne and Dumfoyn to rejoin with the main group further along the path.

In the event of inclement weather we have a lower option without going up Dumgoyne,
Also low level walker may wish to join us and walk their own route around the distillery.
