Some of you will have noticed that the maps on the Linn Park web site have ceased working. GoogleMaps did announce it but it has happened six months early.
However the god news is that we have a better alternative. The first map is up - https://tdocplus.co.uk/linnpark/information-on-the-park/entrances-car-parking-public-transport -parking

Ok Not very exciting but good for learning.
And the learning and configuration takes time.

Update: 1st November. 9 maps done, and just 9 more maps to go ! [We have split one map into two and fund a few others . . . ]

Gordon McKee
(Glasgow South) (Lab)
Residents in Cathcart in my constituency have been waiting more than five years for a gate to Linn Park to be fixed and reopened by Glasgow city council. Thanks to the work of the Friends of Linn Park group, progress is finally being made. Does the Leader of the House agree that it has taken far too long, and will he join me in recognising the work of the Friends of Linn Park?

The Wednesday Walk - well more of a short wander in the heat !
Having met at the S***f mill Bridge, we wandered slowly through the closed but perfectly safe path [unless you have a vivid imagination and suffer from vertigo . . . but the varmint who pressed the big red button has left the council . . . leaving a disaster behind which not one of the elected stupidities has the bottle to do anything about . . . ...
the river was in dark mode full of peaty water as we wandered towards the wholly unnecessary gate . . . ...
Ripples started to appear . . . lots and lots . . . the more we looked the more appeared. Lots of fish nibbling at what they obviously consider to be very tasty flies....
And then at pushing 80 we decided to behave like 10 year olds !
Yup we started to clamber up the old path to the castle from just near the entrance from Greenock Avenue.
We got about half way . . . to a fence. And lots and lots of small trees and branches that had been cut to prevent further access. Worked in stopping us . . . . but that would NOT have been the case seventy years ago. Anyway the park was maintained then as per the photos - posted by Chris Doak on the Muirend FB page....
Finally to the Smiddy to replace lost bodily fluids - aka a pint or two.
