Not surprisingly the area is very wet and this applies particularly to the open grass areas.
PERSONAL SAFETY
For your personal safety we advise that a studded pair of shoes are worn. Generally the running in and around Strathclyde Loch is straightforward.
Under NO CIRCUMSTANCES should any competitors contemplate crossing the North Calder Water anywhere except at the 2 bridges at the top(northern) and bottom (southern) end of the gorge. The Railway line is OUT OF BOUNDS as is the pipeline just to the north of the Railway Bridge.
North Calder Water Gorge West Side
On this side the path starts high up then drops down into the depth of the gorge to pass underneath the railway bridge. The path itself is undulating in nature with several sharp inclines to be negotiated. The 50m crags on the western side of the North Calder Water Gorge are impressive but should not be explored.
North Calder Water Gorge East Side
The path network is more extensive on this side and a recent Mountain Bike Course has been added to the map.
