CYCLE

If you have a bike, why not cycle on the Cycle Path from Greenock via Gourock train station to Lunderston Bay?

WALK
Join the Gateway Walks Group as they walk from Gourock Train Station to the Picnic - all welcome. It's a great way to meet some of the Walk leaders.

Gather at Gourock Train Station (meet to the left of the snack van outside station's front doors) from 10.20 and walk will begin 10.30. It will take about 1.5 hours.

To book, contact Jenni: Jenni@lylegateway.com or 07474 786 428.  Booking by email is preferred but if you decide to join the walk at the last minute, text on the day at 9am to confirm.
