Our Headway walking group's next walk will be taking a route in The 'Glasgow Walks Book' known as Balloch and Whinney hill. The path leads along the river Leven out of Balloch going northward and then heads inland and upwards. A clear route is well signposted with Oak leaf marker posts.
The path is said to be very good, but after rain can be a wee bit muddy. The breeze through tree's and birdsong can accompany you uphill, till you reach a very good vantage point overlooking Luss and and the islands of Loch Lomond.
The walk is about 9k long and can take up to 3 hours.
A very good and enjoyable day will be had by all, leaving Glasgow by train and following the river Clyde initially. When the train arrives in Balloch it is very near the start of the walk. On the way back there is even a very good Chip Shop by the station, and if members make good time, they may be able to buy a poke of chips.
