"THe current Bavelaw Castle owner has put a path in from Beech Avenue all the way to the top of West Kip."
Actually walked the lower part of this path last month en route to Hare Hill. It's a. resurfacing plus improved drainage of the so-called Red Road using grey aggregate chips which means it's not red anymore: Grey Road? They were still building it and passage was, shall we say a bit challenging.
However in the torrential rain the morning after our camp the old Red Road was pretty much impassable due to flooding. The new section was fine due to good drainage.
New path not very "wild" looking but on balance probably an improvement. Guy in JCB said we were part of only a few people who had nice things to say about his work, most folk complaining apparently.
"trendy and upmarket"
Having recently visited Sports Direct at Fort Kinnaird to purchase a volleyball for No.1 son, I can say with some certainty these are not attributes I would ascribe to that particular outlet. Was also in Sports Direct Argyle Street Glasgow branch over the summer, looking for running shoes (again for No.1 son). If you only want Nike or Adidas, you're sorted. Otherwise very little choice. This seems a change from a year ago (last time I visited) when other brands better represented (Asics, Karrimor, Reebok, etc.). Other brands still there but mostly tokenistic presence. Not good for consumer choice.
