The first outing of our new walking group took place last week with a walk to and through Glasgow Green. The weather had been foul all morning but this didn't deter some of us from venturing along for the afternoon outing and though we weren't exactly rewarded with sunshine, the rain did stay off so we didn't need to dive into the People's Palace for shelter.
We took a route along the riverside and found lots of interesting things to photograph and talk about along the way. There were some swans gathering what we thought was probably material for nest-building and a gaggle of geese who didn't seem to mind us taking snaps of them – at least they didn't snap back!
We used pedometers to gauge how far we had travelled but weren't entirely convinced of their accuracy. We think we walked about 5000 steps and according to Google-maps we travelled approximately 3km.
We plan to make walks of a similar distance in the coming months, exploring the areas around the Merchant City and beyond. If anyone has any suggestions of places to visit and things to look out for, do let us know.
