It was a trip to far for Stuart Adamson who sent this little ditty for his no show today
as Las Ramblas head into the valley
Gillian,Alison,Layla,Bruce,Marion,Gary & Avril take a soggy saunter down Lanarkshire way. but first let's check the weather with Sean
"Well Las Ramblas with all the rain we've had over the last few days
it could be a tad slippy underfoot, but clear skies with only
a slight chance of showers".
The conservation
village of New Lanark is the gateway to the Falls of Clyde Wildlife Reserve,
which is owned and managed by the Scottish Wildlife Trust. From New Lanark you
can enjoy beautiful riverside walks through the Reserve, following in the
footsteps of the many poets and painters including Wordsworth and Turner. There
are three waterfalls upstream from New Lanark lying on the Clyde Walkway:
Dundaff Linn (3 metres) is the close to the village. Corra Linn (28 metres) and
Bonnington Linn (11 metres)
For information about
the Falls of Clyde Reserve, visit the Scottish Wildlife Trust's Visitor Centre
at the old mill in New Lanark, or http://www.newlanark.org/index2.shtml

A saunter along the Clyde Canal from Bowling to Kelvingrove Park
Neither Frankie Lane, Johnny Rae or Kevin Coyne could make it
so Bruce headed off on his own, Kevin sent this ditty on behalf of the three of them.
Bruce takes a gentle promenade along the canal before the Snow hits the west coast Lets check with Sean to see what the weather has in store
"Well Las Ramblas its going to be a beautiful day while the rest of the country
shivers through the cold snap the sun will be splitting the sky on this route"
