Better surfaced than most of the roads around here! The path is the old railway line, now tarmac.
The only dodgy one I have mentioned is a section between Kilmacolm and Loch Thom if heading to Largs. There is about a mile of forestry track. I have done it on my road bike (Secteur with 25mm tyres) but for those who are particularly precious about their bikes, probably better to give it a miss. Especially during or after wet weather.
If i had to stop at one that would be dangerous enough never mind them all. I like whisky a little bit to much to be fair think it stems from seeing my dad and grandad enjoy it

Paisley canal train station.
I am sure I could find the route on Garmin if you have one?
No garmin but have now downloaded the gpx to my phone so that will do the trick
I take it you failed geography then ??
I think that was on one of the days I was not there.Maybe the wine, but I just got this vision of you riding south for a few days, then not being allowed back across the border.

There is a signposted route all the way from Broomielaw. Basically squinty bridge, past BBC, cross Paisley rd west, footbridge over M8, through Pollock park, past Ross Hall hospital, into Paisley. Or alternatively, stick to Paisley Road West. Once you join the path at Paisley canal, it's hard to go wrong. Follow the signs but watch the wee on-road section through Elderslie. Sometimes the natives borrow the signs. When you get to the traffic lights at Glenpatrick road, take the wee dead end road down to the right, past a wedding car place. Pick up the path again where the road ends. Then just follow the path and signs, not forgetting to take the right turn at Linwood just after you cross over a river (it is signed), otherwise you end up at Morrisons in Johnstone.
If there is any decent job available maybe not to much hassle haha
Thanks for all the help it's much appreciated
