Absolutely loving your videos. The few times I’ve ventured out to the Monklands canal, I’ve took the longer route along the clyde, got vaguely lost around Cambuslang and generally got to that wee new housing estate before Drumpelier park after getting lost somewhere in Lanarkshire. As I’m 5 mins away from Port Dundas I too would love it if we still had that canal all the way to Airdrie. Got as far as Armadale a couple of years back, but I usually cheat and get the train back. Keep up the great work. Much appreciated.
Thanks for the nice comment. Went on this route from Cambuslang a few years ago and I didn’t enjoy that part and felt like it took ages to get to the bit where the showcase cinema is. Nothing wrong with getting the train back as I’ve done it a few times myself 😁
Hi glasgow boy very good videos and you are doing a great job and having fun making some brilliant videos superstar Ali Walsall west midlands england junction 10 m6 Walsall keep it up you show us the real Glasgow
I really enjoyed that. I've never ventured west of Drumgelloch on the 75 so the route through Coatbridge and the stuff about the Monkland Canal was interesting.
I love seeing places so close to home, hailing as I do from Dumbarton I’ve spent a LOT of time in Glesga Another thing I miss: people saying hello to each other. I now live in Livi and am in Edinburgh far more than Glasgow and the only conversation I’ve had with a stranger was from a Weegie from Springburn You say ‘hello’ to someone here and they look at you as if you’ve said ‘excuse me, could I eat your first born?’
Had this experience when cycling down the Forth. Actually said a similar thing to the camera but it didn’t make the video as it contained lots of swearing.
I don’t know if you saw it but there was a really interesting program on last year about the Monklands Canal can’t remember what it was called but Country File did a piece on it too. That and the Crinan are the only ones I haven’t done. Did all the rest last year for the Canals Challenge. Another great vid and loving the drone shots
@@SwampyDuckRidesAgain3636 it’s a DJI mini 2 and I’m still a bit unsure when I fly it in built up areas. I’m always respectful of peoples privacy and try my hardest to keep it above areas that it can be retrieved. Seagulls can be a pest in the city.
@@glasgowcycles I’ve got the mini3 pro but not been able to get much use yet always been way too windy and I’m not that confident to fly it in the wind. I’ll get there at some point.
Your videos are amazing!
Great video, I ride this route a fair bit, the stretch of canal path from Sykeside to Calderbank is nice.
Love your content. I get to see places I wouldn't normally see. 👍
Absolutely loving your videos.

I'm really interested in the canal routes right now I'll need to check this one out, I done Kelpies to Bowling harbour a few weeks back.
I’m going to have to do that one soon myself as I’ve only ever went one direction or the other from Glasgow.
I wonder what it could beeeeee 🤔 😅

Going to have a look for that one and thank you ☺️
Curious what drone are you using and how long did it take you to build up the confidence to fly near built up areas?
