Run from central station. Nice outing. Also visited the tower. With building etc there doesn't seem to be an direct link, but easy enough to drop down to Bilsland Drive. Also went up to the flag Post..Great view. | HardenC | 28/01/2024 |

After Springburn en route to Braehead for Christmas shopping. Heavy rain and low cloud meant there was little to be seen in way of views today. Nice park, maybe worth a visit in the summer | Jubilado | 20/12/2018 |

4th tump of 5 today, having climbed Craigend Hill, Douglas Park and Cairn Hill, taking the train from Westerton to Anniesland and then taking next train to Possil Park & Parkhouse station for an out and back to the high point, doing a loop from the park entrance.
