Getting the Kilometres back up…

Kilometres Walked : 20

Monday 24th July, 2023.

Sitting here with slightly sore feet, we now realise why. It certainly didn’t take long to rack up the kilometres today. This morning we started with a walk along the Clyde River and around Glasgow Green. Glasgow Green is the cities oldest park which also houses the largest terracotta fountain in the world standing at 14 metres high.

Loved this clever carving.

One of many bridges that cross the Clyde.

Also on the grounds of Glasgow Green is The People’s Palace which is a museum and Glasshouse which was opened 1898.

The afternoon was spent exploring Pollok Country Park. We thought whilst the weather was great we should do all the outdoor activities. This magnificent country park is Glasgow’s largest and with it’s beautiful walled gardens, woodland walks and it’s famous Highland Cattle it was well worth the five kilometre walk to reach it.

Lovely woodland paths.

Such a beautiful garden.

Yes it was very easy to clock up 20 kilometres today. Luckily we found a lovely smooth Australian Pinot Noir at none other than Aldi to ease the pain🍷
