Joined: 26 Mar 2008 Posts: 1 Bike: | Me and my classmates at College are about to undertake in a Cost to Coast Cycle to raise money for STrathcarron Hospice in Fallkirk. We have found several plans. Our current planned route is from Dunbar to Edinburgh, Edinburgh to Falkirk, Falkirk to Glasgow, Glasgow to Paisley and finally Paisley to Largs. I cant find a bit by bit route for each part, only maps. Couldn anyone help me? Cheers Graham |

I just prefer the cycle paths to canal paths, but that's a personal preference. Here's a route description from the center of Edinburgh to the Falkirk Wheel. Unfortunately, nothing as detailed for Falkirk to Glasgow on their site, but here's some detail for you. Or you could follow these instructions in reverse On this site itself, we have maps for Glasgow to Paisley Paisley to Gourock and Gourock to Wemyss Bay Hope you enjoy your ride! |

Do a google search for "ayrshire coast cycleway" and it should come up with map of the Kilbirnie to Ardrossan bit. A similar search should show you the Glasgow to Kilbirnie bit. I'm going to cycle the Paisley to Ayr bit tomorrow. Ron. |
