Up here, behind Bridge of Weir, the peace and serenity is exquisite. These three perches (or pulpits, or podia) are the finest there is for offering a view over the strath from the west. Normally, I cycle from Paisley Canal (sustrans path all the way to BOW) and then cut off at BOW. Here, there are a few routes up and over and down to Kilbarchan (or Howwood) on the other side, whereby I rejoin the tangential sustrans path and head back to Paisley Canal. It's a circuit, all told, of about 90-120mins, or longer if you decide to stop and breathe it all in. And you should stop. This is what shamanic cycling is all about: embracing the pauses in the midst of the flow, and breathing it all in. Below are a couple of videos and a few images taken from hereabouts.
