| Comment | This might be handy for you. SPT do an all-day 'Daytripper' ticket, £12.30 for one adult and two kids, or £21.80 for two adults and four kids. Lets you use all trains and most buses in Strathclyde, and the subway in Glasgow. It's not very widely publicised unfortunately and you need to pick one up at either the Glasgow Central or Queen Street Station ticket offices. If there's 2 or more of you, getting a few of these would probably be much better value than booking a regular train return ticket each.

The area you can use it is pretty big as well: http://www.spt.co.uk/cms/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/daytripper_map_web2.pdf
This'd let you take a trip to Arrochar/Tarbet, where you could hike up the Arrochar Alps. Can see other in this thread have already suggested heading for The Cobbler. Would totally recommend this myself too. Also, best check out walkhighlands.com for more detailed walk info.
The Daytripper would also let you go a little further along the west side of Loch Lomond, to Ardlui. I think you can get up Ben Vorlich from there, but not totally sure. |
