About This Route

Final stage of the Clyde cycle tour takes the clyde walkway past the falls of Clyde, crosses a wweir above Bonnington Lin. We left the Clyde for a while choosing to go up Doouglas water (a tributary of the clyde) to the NCN74 rather than brave the A73 or the A702. The route regains the Clyde just before Abington. We left the NCN74 at the turnoff for Elvanfoot and followed the (very quiet) A702 up to Watermeetings, walking across the field to step into the river at the official (mapped) start of the Clyde. We then backtracked and headed up to Leadhills (from where the Clyde flows according to the song. We had a look around the historical walk at Wanlockhead before descending to Sanquhar to catch a train.
