Houdini on the train heading to Paisley Canal where we will head along the sustrans path to Kilmacolm and then up and over to Finlaystone Park which we cut through to get to Langbank train station and the train hame.
Houdini on one of his favourite benches of serenity on the beautiful backroad between Kilmacolm and Finlaystone...
From Langbank station looking north towards the lang crags above Dumbarton.
How I would love to have a tennis court next door to me. In certain parts of the world having a tennis court in your back garden means you are a millionaire. In Scotland, the sick man of Europe, it means weeds and neglect and more weeds. No doubt some property developer will fill this space in with a block of pokey little flats, mark my words...
Why would you ever stare into your hand on a train when you have a cinema screen onto the world like this? [Here, passing Arkleston, looking north, between Paisley and Hillington.
The largest glass roof in Europe at Central Station offers some spectacular opportunities for the budding painter-photographer...
And that's how you break your chains: bike + train = brain.... Get into the country, and out of the strait-jacketting city.... If you do this often enough you will have earned your nickname of Houdini. And if you do arrive back at Central Station, see if you can find the car park exit and you will definitely earn your escapist moniker.
