Clyde Walkway: Uddingston to Strathclyde 

Thanks Justin! Good to keep the old legs moving! 👍

Thanks Martin! Yeah, I realised my slip up after I watched it back after rendering the vid. I couldn't be bothered editing it and rendering it again so I put the correction in the description. Thanks for pointing it out in case I hadn't though 👍 Aye, I love this time of year! Super awesome colours. Autumnal colours are probably my favourite actually. Well nice! 👍

Thanks Jean! 🐾👍 No, I haven't heard of that tiny door guy. It kinda spooks me out! Hahaha! 👽👻🧚‍♂️

Haha, I know, I defo have a bit of a theme going it seems in the vids! 💩💩💩🙈😂🐾👍

Thank you!

Hello Arno, thank you very much! 👍 Yeah, I realised my slip up when watching the vid back after editing and rendering but couldn't be bothered editing and rendering it again to add some text in vid; so I put a correction in the description. Thanks for pointing it out in case I hadn't noticed though! 👍 That's great that you two are coming over to Scotland to hike. Have you been before? You will love it and you have picked most epic places to hike with the Skye Trail and CWT for sure! You need to let us know how you get on! I'd love to visit Africa sometime: so many cool places to visit and things to see! Thanks again, cheers! 🐾👍

My wife and I did visit Scotland in 2015 and we fell in love with it. It's a stunning country with fantastic people. I've never seen so much rain in my life and to someone who's roots lie in the Karoo desert of South Africa, it was a sight to behold. Our hiking conditions are vastly different from yours. My brother and I are attempting one of South Africa's great hikes this coming December namely the Drakensberg Grand Traverse. That involves about 12-14 days of truly unsupported hiking at altitudes of 3000 meters or more. No trail, no shops, no tourists, no roads, no huts (bothies), in fact no sign of civilization at all! Just GPS, compass and map. Can't wait, although our packs are probably going to have to be stupid heavy to carry all that food for 2 weeks. Thanks again for your videos. They really are some of the best hiking videos I've ever seen. Who knows, maybe we'll yet run into each other somewhere in the Highlands.

@@arnolambrechts2422 Wow! That Drakensberg grand traverse looks absolutely unbelievable! Totally epic! Now that IS proper GoT & LoR! ⛰🏔🏞👍👍👍 You'll need to video that hike or put some pics up on Instagram or something. 📽 Two weeks is gonna be a lot of food what with all that elevation gain and loss. What a grand adventure! All the best for it! Thanks again Arno, your kind words are much appreciated and really encorage me to keep at it. Plus it makes all the filming and editing worth it! Cheers! 🐾👍

@@HoundsofHowgate You've set the bar unattainably high in terms of video production standards but I'm definitely going to fill up a whole stack of memory cards up there and I'll try and put together a decent RU-vid video afterwards. Will let you know. Cheers again!

@@arnolambrechts2422 I'm not so sure about the high bar, but thank you. 😊 Definetly would like to see some footage of the route, so aye, give us a hollar! 👍

Thanks Alan! Sounds good! Will you have to do the route twice? Once on the bike and then walk to the car to return to pick up the bike later? It can be quite hard to sort things out when section hiking remote parts. I remember having to cycle some parts to get to a Munro. As I get further south transport at the weekends is going to become a hassle and that is not even remote!

Hi Hounds, yes I will have to do the route twice. The first day I will push my bike away from the car and then cycle back. The last day of the three between Lower Diabaig and Red Point will be a double walk - out and back of about 16 mile total. The drive around to Red Point is about 45 miles which is too far to cycle. When I climbed a couple of Hills in the Lake District back in 2004 I took my small Jack Russel - called Scampi Tiberius Germanicus. I had about a five mile cycle down hill to the start of the walk so I tucked Scampi into my walking jacket and we zoomed off down the hill with me holding one hand on the handlebar/brake and the other supporting Scampi inside my jacket with his little head popping-out, like Moss. Impressed with that taxi only costing £7.50

@@owdjockey4459 that is a splendid name for a dog! I'm into that 🐾👍

Canne mind what ah wis moanin aboot in that vid, haha! 😂🐾👍

Thank you! I think I actually remember you: we used to chat when passing while walking. You weren't one of the group that used to congregate, were you? Was it your collie that was ball mad? Yeah, Moss was still young at the time. We moved down near Biggar so that's why we disappeared from the area.

Yes Mist! He is still ball mad. He is deaf as a post and his sight beginning to fail a bit but doing well! He still manages to come and do Munros with me but not sure how many more he will manage. I didn't take him on the CWT for obvious reasons. My other old boy died so I got a wee rescue cross tamaskan/collie and she came with me on the trail. Was her I was speaking about on one of your posts re ruffwear harness and will take her on the first half next May. She is hard work though and has a few issues but makes for the challenge I guess. Aye and yes I occasionally walked with the 'group' but enjoyed my own company! Storm is afraid of people so I stopped going when it was busy although she is getting a bit better so I may return. Anyway great to hear from you again , I wondered what had happened to you!

@@Tweets122 yeah, good to hear from you too. Keep in touch and posted on your adventures and how the dogs are going. If you want to try out any of Moss' kit before buying anything then just give us a should and we can come down to the castle after work one time for you to try anything out for size/fit etc. 🐾👍

Nah, the vid is just taking ages for RU-vid to process for some reason. It's uploaded but still only available in 320p or something like that. Rubbish quality basically; so just waiting for them to make a better quality version available before making it public. Haha, good point about the cracking offerings from our fav biscuit manufacturer! 🍪🍫👍

Just checked: still only 360p available and it's not worth watching at that quality. It's a longer vid from Strathclyde Park to Lanark but that had been a couple of days now... Gonna have to have a look on le net to see what the score is with that!

We call them ladder straps but if you look up Thule 523 you will see what it is. Thule ones are pretty expensive but if you look the 523 you will know what to look for. Amazon have ones for a couple of pounds. Look up Thule Luggage Strap 400cm on Amazon and scroll down to similar items and you will see ones for a few pounds there. They don't need to be top notch ones for carrying a dog as they are designed for hiding down luggage on roof racks etc. If you are still not sure I can send you a link on my facebook or Instagram 'Hounds of Howgate' or even drop one off in the shop at Bothwell Castle for you. 👍

It's down by the Clyde behind the School in Uddingston. Dropped pin Near Uddingston, Glasgow maps.app.goo.gl/mWYXcsyMGcQx3L2w6

For sure, the whole sign thing going on thete was just daft! 🤪

For sure! 🐾👍

Hi Darren, most definitely! In fact on the whole Clyde Walkway from Glasgow to Lanark there are only really a few off trail parts that are a bit muddy; on a mountain bike: no worries at all! 🐾👍

brother! 😂😂😂😂 your the coolest hawk on youtube. i never thought you would answer back😂🙈 never mind this quick✊. respect-a-2-u❤️

@@DarrenRFC nae bother at aw! 🙂🐾👍

i hope im not ripping it but. do you recommend any trails that are good for cycling long distance on mountain bikes. we are from glasgow. we have done the kelpies and edinburgh. i was wondering if you knew any good routes we could do. i’ve watched your videos and i think been impressed with your knowledge of our country. thanks alot if you can help❤️❤️✊🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

@@DarrenRFC yeah, for sure. Check out the Loch Ness 360° videos I uploaded. That's basically linking up the Great Glen Way and the South Loch Ness Trail. That's perfect for mountain biking.
