Cycle Steps |
1. Go on to the old railway line path to Kirkintilloch |
|
2. In Kirkie head for the canal path. |
|
3. Once on the canal path travel about 6 miles. |
|
4. Keep going until you pass the golf course on your right. |
|
5. Take the first right after the golf course. |
|
6. Head down into the golf course along the public footpath. |
|
7. Cross the bridge, and follow the path right round to the garden centre |
|
8. At the garden centre turn left, 50 yrds on cross the main road. |
|
9. Head along through the estate, until you can turn right heading for Scottish Water |
|
10. Follow this road for atleast a mile, until you come to the bottom of the Wheelie Brae |
|
11. Getting up the wheelie brae is a hard task, but certainly worth it. It also depends if its been raining. Most of the time I end up walking it. |
|
12. Once at the top, pat yourself on the back. Climb over the fence and head across the fields. |
|
13. Following the public path along, you will eventually have to climb over a turnstyle. Once there you are at the back of Lennox Forest. |
