CamBear Jul 2012 7:38pm, 22 Jul 2012 106 posts	0 CamBear Mugdock country park has some decent trails, including part of the whw. To the south Muirshiel country park and Gleiffer Braes near Paisley are good.

_andy Jul 2012 10:07pm, 22 Jul 2012 8,177 posts	0 _andy PLV - or heading in the other direction, the Clyde Walkway is good. walkhighlands.co.uk There's 40 miles of it if you keep on going (as run by quite a few of us yesterday), with good train links here and there to get you back into Glasgow (or vice versa)
Pinkliverbird Jul 2012 4:06am, 23 Jul 2012 338 posts	0 Pinkliverbird Thanks for that andy. That one's really easy for me to get to and I could easily run to the start of it. The train links may come in handy as well. whw looks good too.

Dvorak Aug 2012 10:59pm, 18 Aug 2012 5,518 posts	0 Dvorak Reading PH's blog about running fifty different parkruns got me thinking: could you do all the Scottish ones in a day? In the summer, I think it could be possible. For example: Glasgow 08:00; Strathclyde 09:30; Falkirk 11:00; Edinburgh 12:30; St Andrews 14:30; Dundee 16:00; Aberdeen 18:00; Inverness 20:30. I think there is some form of Fetchie involvement in all of them? Could greet people and keep them right. (Thinks) Though it might be easier to do a Central Scotland/ NW England eight. for some - not including myself. 40K in a day - that's almost a marathon!
