ESCAPE TO THE COUNTRY
All kids will be familiar with the order to ‘get out and get some fresh air!’ But if local leisure facilities are becoming a bit tiresome, then there’s a feast of stuff happening just outside the city, all of which is guaranteed to keep everyone happy.
Mugdock Country Park, near Milngavie, is a perfect place for running about daft and learning all about the wonders of nature. There are regular park ranger led mini-beast studies and pond-dipping adventures, or if you just fancy having a bit of an amble there are marked trails through the acres of ancient woodlands and moorlands. For those with four-legged friends, this week Mugdock is hosting Superdog 2004. This is a competition strictly for amateurs - no prima-donna pooches allowed. Buses run every half hour from Milngavie train station during the school holidays.
Thanks to Kelburn Country Centre there’s somewhere to work off all that Nardini’s while down Largs way. And it‘s a bit of an enchanted place: there’s a secret forest with a Chinese garden, a swamp with a monster that eats human heads (yikes), a gingerbread house, a maze and a woodcutter’s house. In the fairytale-free zone there are regular pottery workshops, an adventure course, pets’ corner, a soft play area and a riding school. Only 300 yards walk up the glen above the centre there’s a spectacular 20ft waterfall where you can watch out for deer and foxes darting about. Catch a train to Largs, then one of the regular buses to the centre.
Finlaystone Country Estate near Langbank is home to an adventure playground, with a flying fox and wigwams. Among the host of animals that call Finlaystone their home, there’s a large colony of bats and this week you can join a local expert to learn all about these wee furry flyers. There’s also 3 Woodland Sculpture workshop, where you can get arty with natural materials. The park is 30 minutes by car from Glasgow, there are trains to Langbank but no buses to the centre from the station which is about a 25 minutes walk.
Summer is but a fleeting thing, so get yourself out of the city and enjoy it while it lasts. (Morag Bruce)

AIIII I HOS SCOTTISH SENIOR CHAMPIONSHIPS Only the most isolated among us could have missed the fact that the 2004 Olympic Games start on 13 August. But Greece isn’t the only place to catch top-class athletics action over the weekend. Closer to home, the Scottish Senior Championships take place at Scotstoun Stadium this week. The Glasgow event offers the chance to get up close and personal with the creme de la creme of Scottish athletes.

SCOTTISH ATHLETICS
home include Darren Ritchie in the long jump and Susan Deacon in the 100 metres, while Ian Mackie will be competing in the 400 metres against BBC Superstars champion Du’aine Ladejo. Although Scotland’s five Olympic competitors will be of course be absent, the games also serve as a warm- up for athletes from Papua New Guinea who are on their way to Athens. And after the local action is over, there’s still plenty of time to catch up on the progress of Scotland’s representatives in Greece: runners Lee McConnell, Carey Marshall, Kathy Butler and Nick Smith, plus hammer
thrower Shirley Webb. (Rachael Street)
