Description

Glasgow Airport to the Clyde Tunnel

I used to work at Glasgow Aiport and whilst most days I went by car I occasionally cycled the 32 miles. Apart from the part covered by this video almost all the journey was along the towpaths of the Forth and Clyde canal. I uploaded this video more for interest than for a workout. It's mostly all on the flat except the final few hundred metres as you climb up out of the tunnel under the River Clyde,

The video takes you from the airport, initially along the road alongside the main runway before crossing the river Cart to head through the town of Renfrew and then past the enormous and new Queen Elizabeth hospital before heading down under the Clyde via the Clyde Tunnel. It was only afterwards I realised there are two cycle and footpath tunnels - a Southbound and a Northbound one. Don't tell anyone but went the wrong way through the Southbound tunnel! The video stops just a few 100 metres away from the canal towpaths when I stopped short when I suffered a puncture.

The follow on canal towpath videos are here.
