Milngavie to Killearn

Despite the Steam Packet’s best efforts to disrupt my plans with a low tide delay (you think they’d have a tide table) I had a smooth journey. Flat calm crossing and all trains on time got me to Milngavie (pronounced Mill Guy) late afternoon.
A quick sandwich and a dash round the supermarket and I was off. It’s been a beautiful day which I fear will be scarce from now on, so I decided to get a few miles along the route before finding somewhere scenic to camp.
Tip of the day - don’t carry on until it is dark. I found a perfect spot but it already had two tents on it, so I carried on. There’ll be another round the corner. Well, about an hour later I opted for the corner of a scrubby field. It’s not flat and I put my tent up with the doorway facing the hedge. Basic camping errors.
My old Vango tent had served me well, but I have invested in a smaller, lighter, fancier one-man design. It is very small. Perhaps too small? The next few days will decide.
Anyway the forecast is ok for tomorrow, but not too clever from then on. Hopefully get an early start and just see where I get to. Somewhere flat would be nice.Read more
