Yesterday on a cloudy mild morning
Cunninghame ramblers ventured over the
Erskine Bridge to Old Kilpatrick for a 10 mile walk in the Kilpatrick hills climbing up the
The Slacks which towers 365M above the Clyde. 20 of set off on a newly constructed
Clyde Coastal Path through Duntocher and Hardgate before reaching Clochno estate where we then started to climb up through some fields until we reached the moorland with some of the reservoirs used to supply parts of Glasgow. Once we conquered Clochno hill we descended to Greenside reservior for our lunch stop before a short sharp climb to the summit of The Slacks with views down past Dumbarton and Greenock. A steep descent took us down onto a road which led us back to the start to end another great day out with the group who kept up an excellent pace considering the first real semi strenuous walk we had done for a while. Thanks to Mr and Mrs leaders whose knowledge of this area kept us fully informed of the surrounding areas.
