1. For this survey of Kelgla, I walked from Glasgow to Kelvindale on a beautiful day. Started at the beautiful and historic Glasgow Central station! 0 km from start — 26 Jul 2021
2. The route follows sidewalks as it heads out of Glasgow. 0.1 km from start — 26 Jul 2021
3. Some of the streets in Glasgow are a bit hilly, with a brief ascent to a peak about 0.5km into the walk. 0.5 km from start — 26 Jul 2021
4. Sidewalk continues over a motorway. 0.9 km from start — 26 Jul 2021
5. Turning north off the main street into a quiet residential neighborhood. 1.3 km from start — 26 Jul 2021
6. Side street intersections are not equipped with curb ramps so don't appear to be wheelchair accessible. 1.3 km from start — 26 Jul 2021
7. Little cut-through path has a relatively steep (but brief) ascent on a cobbled road. 1.7 km from start — 26 Jul 2021
8. Sidewalk walking continues through beautiful residential neighborhood. 1.9 km from start — 26 Jul 2021
9. Route passes through open gate and into park! 2 km from start — 26 Jul 2021
10. Paved path through park is lovely! 2.1 km from start — 26 Jul 2021
11. I took this photo looking up from the bottom of a stretch of relatively steep downhill walking. It's a fairly steep descent for about 0.3 kilometers from the hilltop park to the River Kelvin. 2.3 km from start — 26 Jul 2021
12. At some points along the river, the path can get fairly narrow and it is shared with cyclists. On a busy and beautiful weekend afternoon, this is just something to keep in mind! 2.6 km from start — 26 Jul 2021
13. The path continues as a paved walk along the river. There's a brief steep incline just after the path crosses the river Kelvin and under the A road. 3 km from start — 26 Jul 2021

23. Crossing of the main road had a brief descent and then this series of gates on approach. 5.4 km from start — 26 Jul 2021
24. At this sign, take the turn to follow the sign to Kelvindale Station; this is where the Slow Way has you turning at a right angle onto the canal path but you actually have to take the winding switchback path to change levels between the two paths. 5.9 km from start — 26 Jul 2021
