MacRetro chat and rides thread

Guys, I was told there's a trail that starts around the slip road for Erskine bridge, up the Kilpatrick hills, but can come down into Bonhill. Is this correct? Anyone got an Ordenance survey map with the route?

Come off the bridge into Old Kilpatrick and take Station Rd. As it passes under the A82 you'll see a sort of gas pumping station. Follow the road past that and follow sign for Loch Humphry. It'll start going uphill eventually turning to grey flinty hardcore which has recently been put down to enable heavy machinery up the hill for maintenance work. After a pretty sore climb you'll come to Loch Humphry.
From there you can go west towards the vale or east towards Milngavie.
Big hill but the views are spectacular.

Free dram at the end of a ride? Like a distillery tour.
