Comment	Here's one that you will all enjoy that most of you have probably never visited. The forests behind Easterhouse (now known as part of the 7 Lochs Wetland Park). The 7LW Park takes in Hogganfield and Drumpellier, but I really like the middle area that takes in Lochend Burn, Bishop Loch and Todd's Well. Plenty of woodland, loads of trails and walks and a literal stone throw from Glasgow Fort. One second your in Urban Easterhouse, next second you've stepped out of city life and into countryside nature. You also have the bonus of visiting Provan Hall, thought to be the oldest house in Glasgow (it supposedly predates Provand's Lordship (next to Glasgow Cathedral) by a few years). It was built at the tail end of medieval times and is a wonderful building to visit. Obviously you're not getting inside it because of lockdown, but keep it in mind for later. So, get the bus to the Fort shopping centre then walk over into Auchinlea Park to visit Provan Hall. From there you cross a road and into the Todd's Well section of the wetlands park. From there you have miles of forestry to explore.
