Strathkelvin Ramblers

This page gives you access to maps of the GPS tracks from some of our walks. When you click on one of the names, the relevant map will appear below the list showing the location of the walk and the route we took. Several different map views are available including Ordinance Survey. Many of the route maps include a brief description of the walk and may also have altitude information allowing you to look at the height profile.

You can also download a .gpx file for the walk which you can use with a mapping app on a PC, tablet or phone.

Please note the following:

  • Distances are normally accurate although here and there you may find that a recorded route is not the most direct one from A to B or has loops, bits where we seem to have doubled back etc etc. These might be because we paused to have a look around a historic building, went off track to find a decent picnic spot or retraced our steps to avoid a muddy bit. 
  • Treat height information as indicative only. Because of the way that GPS devices measure altitude or the way that the information is processed, some of the altitude data may be inaccurate, but you can check against the map. Elevation gain is a measure of all the ups and downs you do on a walk so is usually greater and sometimes much greater than the maximum height. Some tracks have no height info.
  • Please reade the small print at the bottom of the page if you are thinking of using one of our .gpx files on a walk.*

We hope that walkers and walk leaders will find this a useful resource. We will add walks as and when we have the GPS tracks and improve the useability of the page when time allows.

If you have any GPS tracks from a Strathkelvin Ramblers walk that don't appear here, please send them to the Webmaster:

We are still working on this page to make the presentation and naming of walks more consistent, to add dates, links and brief descriptions. Please come back to this page to see how it develops.

Walking Routes

 

 * The small print. Please note that the tracks shown are simply recordings of where we went. We are not recommending the routes or suggesting that you should follow them. Some of them may have been recorded during a recce. Remember that conditions on a route can vary with time and with the weather, and paths can be changed, become impassable or disappear.

If you do download a track to a GPS device, you must verify for yourself on a map that it is correct before you use it for navigation.
