Cruising to Glasgow Our first full day on the Scottish Lowland Canals. We travelled from the top of lock 20 to the moorings at Applecross outside the British Waterways (BW) Offices near the end of the Glasgow arm. Unlike the English canals, the bridges have to be operated by BW staff so we travelled in convoy through the two bridges this morning. The request was to be at the first bridge for 10:00 and we queued up waiting for the last to arrive so the bridge was only operated once. Then we kept in convoy to the second bridge before travelling at our own speed for the rest of the day.  En route we passed the Wee Spark. This is a reduced size replica of a Clyde Puffer, with a suitable pun on the name of the Vital Spark featuring in the tales of Para Handy. Tomorrow we are booked for the journey to Bowling Basin, the western extreme of the Forth and Clyde Canal. We need to be at the top of Maryhill Locks, the first after Glasgow, by 09:15 and the BW team will escort us, and any other waiting boats, down to Bowling.
