franciscobegbie, I quite fancy the Crags route sometime soon, would Bowling Basin be a suitable starting point, and when are you free for a wee spin?
Any time. If the weathers good, I’m up in the Kilpatricks 2 or 3 times a week. I’m heading up there shortly. Could go on Sunday too.
I’ve never done the full Crags circular route, I normally go up the Humphrey road from Old Kilpatrick, over to the Black Linn and down the fast grassy track part of the crags loop to Overtoun House. So I always miss out the actual crags bit.
You could start from Bowling and head up my normal way – theres a couple of fun jumps near there and an entertaining drop on the way up through the Lusset Glen. Or head west towards Dumbarton and follow the waymarked Crags circular walking route from there.
