Here we are again, up above Barrhead and Paisley, in the forever land, and those spaces that leave you feeling eternal if not infinite and invincible. I couldn't believe how quickly I traversed this plateau. Fifty minutes is all it took today from Barrhead train station to Paisley Canal train station. And yet...
To be sure, it was a bit dreich and so I never stopped for my usual break of water and blueberries at the top. But fifty minutes was amazingly quick. And yet, it never seemed that quick. This is what these spaces do to you: they space you out, time you out, until there is nothing left except the territory. And like all naturally-abiding entities, the territory is timeless, which may explain my own timelessness.
Once you've been up here, done a bit of cardio, spaced (and timed) the self out, going to a gym is never the same again.
The cup and ring stone on the way up to the kissing tree...
The kissing tree with 'pendulum'...
Beautiful Paisley from Saucelhill (42m) right above Paisley Canal train station.
The wild cyclist... ;)
The catapult train....
