I'm not sure about going through the tunnel, I would like your ideas on how to get from West of Scotland Science park to the RAH, what are the options for crossing the river etc. Thanks :) |

Take the Forth and Clyde canal path to Erskine Bridge and cross bridge. 2. Follow the A726 from bridge round Glasgow Airport to St. James playing fields then cut through to the right past St. Mirren football ground and make way last mile or so to RAH. You can probably cut through Erskine if you don't fancy cycling on A726 and the bit round the airport has a pavement that is also for cyclists. |

Continue down Crow Rd/Balshagray Ave until you see sign sot the Clyde cycle tunnel 4. Go through tunnel and you reach Govan. 5. From Govan head towards Cardonald at Paisley Road West 5. Here you can either go straight along Paisley Road West/Glasgow Road to Paisley or plot a way onto NCN7/75 at Cardonald. NCN7/75 oasses the RAH (see www.sustrans.org.uk for exact route using their mapping facility). Also, a copy of the Glasgow Cycle map is handy. Ben at Kinetics in Switchback Road will sell you a copy.
