Plans

Train to Nitshill station, walk. Will probably arrive around 1130 am. Expect to visit Riverside (Transportation) Museum in Glasgow afterward.

Update: looks like rain in the morning that ends around 2, so I'll probably hit the museum first and come to the hashpoint around 3 pm.

Expedition

Did museum (fun, lots of cool stuff) and a late lunch at a Pakistani place in Govan, finally catching a 4:03 train from Glasgow Central and arriving at the hashpoint around 4:30. The hashpoint was on the side of a moderately steep hill with a housing development at its top and a busy road and commercial district at its base. A broad stairway led up the hill and passed a few dozen meters from the hashpoint. The grass was unmowed but easy to navigate. Difficulty level low, coordinates reached.

The weather plan didn't really work out. It was dry through late morning and midday, but started sprinkling as I left the station to walk to the hashpoint. It was very light during the expedition, but got strong enough that I felt a need to wait in the trackside shelter for the return train.
