Strathclyde Lichen Group field meeting
Location: Knapps Loch near Kilmalcolm
Date: 29th July 2025
Time: 10 am start, aiming to finish by 3pm
Meet: We will meet at the larger of the two laybys (the one with the snack van) off the A761 just before Kilmalcolm if you are coming from Bridge of Weir.
The grid reference is NS362681, What three words is ///mouth.brilliant.qualifier
Details: A packed lunch and drinks should be brought with you along with suitable clothing for the weather. The paths are in a good condition but can be muddy and there are some slopes.
The site is a mixture of farmland with many old dry stone dykes and some planted mixed woodland. There are also areas of exposed rock in the higher parts of the wood. We will survey monads NS3668 and NS3768 which have very few existing records.
There are no facilities at Knapps Loch but Bridge of Weir and Kilmalcolm have cafes and shops.
Can you let us know if you are coming by e mailing Paisleylichens@gmail.com
We may discuss car sharing once we know who is coming.
