Drymen’s six Slow Ways are 50% checked
Help connect Drymen
Many Slow Ways have several route options. Some will be better than others, or good for different reasons.
Our goal is for each Slow Way to have at least one route that is verified and surveyed. To be verified – and get its snail badge – a route needs at least three positive reviews.
Give a hike and help get a for every one of Drymen’s Slow Ways.

Petr Sadilek added Aledry two, a new walk from Alexandria to Drymen
Walk this routeThe first third of the route is on quiet country roads and mostly follows the National cycle route 7. The next and longest section makes use of the John Muir's way. As the route approaches Strathblane, it veers off John Muir's way at one point - it is shown on the seventh photograph where you can see a small sign "campsite & cafe 500yards"....
Petr Sadilek
The main problem with this route is that it wants to follow the path of a disused railway approx. Searching for an alternative route, I picked the one to the left of the slowway rather than following the National cycle route 7. I should have taken the National cycle route 7 at Croftamie instead and join this slowway after 2km again....

Beautiful views from the top of conic hill and then lovely descent to the start of Loch Lomond....
Holly
The alternative to Conic Hill involves a lot of road walking and some of the facilities on both sides of the road were not very walker friendly....
Lakeswalkers
Where the WHW leaves the road and goes across a field in an uphill diversion from the road just before Drymen, I regretted this and wished I had stayed on the road....
Lakeswalkers
Conic hill was a highlight! Then down into the pub in Balmaha. Would definitely walk again!...

Walk this routeIt is possible to cut off the loop past Merkins Farm by taking the track through Gallangad Farm....
redheather
There is an error on the route between Burncrooks Reservoir and Lily Loch where the SlowWays route to Duncolm starts about 200m W of the true path on the ground, which is marked by a cairn. The true path goes SE of Lily Loch, but the SlowWays route shows as passing to the NW....

The WHW section is a mixture of rocky path and road after Gartness....
