The section of cyclepath from Drumgelloch to Plains has been removed, to get to the start of the route from Drumgelloch follow the main road, the A89.
The route now begins east of Plains just past over the road bridge at NS 80100 67100.
The initial signposting is well hidden. It also indicates the pavement should be used as no dedicated cyclepath is provided. The pavement is barely wide enough, and is entirely unsuitable for cycle trailers.
Start, just off A89
A new tarmacadam path heads north on the right hand side of the North Calder Water for 200m before heading in an easterly direction.
The newly laid path
And an older bridge
It passes under an old railway overbridge at NS 803 674, before heading north east, running parallel with the new railway line until NS 808 677, where it crosses an access road.
The path crosses an access road, beware of traffic
It then runs parallel with the railway on the north side, passing through an underbridge at NS 813 678, and running parallel uphill to the top of the hill to the railway bridge at NS 818 677.
New path, same old graffittiUnderbridge
The Airdrie Rambler 
The Council has since widened the path at Ford Bridge, 3 bollards were installed by the council to prevent unauthorised vehicles using the path, however the central bollard has been vandalised, this was replaced, however the vandals removed this new bollard.
If anyone comes across people on a trail bike or quad bike while out on the cycle track could they please report to the police.
