Description
Glasgow to Bishopbriggs via Springburn. The route leaves central Glasgow through the Townmead estate, crosses the M8 at the big intersection with the A803/A804, then a short stretch along the A803 before turning off to find a quieter approach to Springburn (refreshments). After Springburn Park the route follows roads directly to Bishopbriggs.
When the huge Sighthill development completes, and the new M8 bridge goes in, then an alternative route which misses the A803 walking may be feasible

Surveys
We are working to build-up a picture of what routes look like. To do that we are asking volunteers to survey routes so that we can communicate features, obstacles and challenges that may make a route desirable or not.
Slow Ways surveyors are asked to complete some basic online training, but they are not vetted. If you are dependent on the survey information being correct in order to complete a route, we recommend that you think critically about the information provided. You may also wish to wait until more than one survey has been completed.
