Fancy a 65km stroll along the Clyde Walkway?
Available to download from itunes or the Google Play store, the Clyde Walkway app invites users to make their own way along the fascinating route, depending on their interests and time available for traversing the route.
Working on GPS, app users can chart their progress on the route as they go, even through rural areas with limited mobile signal availability.
