I made a pretty substantial discovery the other day. Interested? Well, then let me continue. I…read morediscovered that the Cambridge Street Car Park (which is the one just about opposite Cowcaddens Subway Station) does a special offer on parking from 6pm to 6am. No matter how long you stay in the carpark between the two times - there's a simple flat fee of £1.50. Bargain? Bargain! That means that if you're off into town for the Cinema or the like, it's actually a LOT cheaper to drive in than it is to get the Subway or the bus. Especially if there's more than one of you. Plus, Cambridge Street carpark is brightly lit and secure - if you want to get into the building as a pedestrian you have to swipe a valid carparking ticket. It's also never busy, which means you'll always be able to get a space on the ground floor within about ten paces from the pay station. Ah, my nightly cinema trips will never be the same......

You may wonder why I am writing a review about a West End car park - I mean surely the West End has…read moretons of more interesting and funky happening places going on, eh? Well, yes it does. Indeed, it does. However, sometimes in order to get to these funky happening places you need to park your car. Being a mainly public transport or walking type of girl, this is something which ordinarily doesn't occur to me. Yet, on entering a course last week I was shocked that when someone asked me about the nearest car park I really had to think about it. Furthermore, I could not for the life of me explain where it was (I am truly terrible at giving directions). And so, I decided this was a necessary review. This car park is fairly big (in West End standards) and is located just behind the Marks and Spencers off of Byres Road and Ashton Lane. From this, you'll realise how handy it is for the buzz of Byres Road and 'The Lane'. It's a Glagsow City Council Car Park so prices are average (I think) andit's very cheap for an all day ticket on Sundays. Perfect, for a spot of West End Sunday shopping and eating. Meanwhile, it tends to be quieter than the other car park which is more easily noticeable from Byres Road so there's always a good chance that you'll find a space or that one will quickly become available.

Now I kind of have the fear about parking here. Good things: - Cheap - Handy for Byres Road/Ashton Lane - Open 24 hours Not so good: - Could do with resurfacing - On a bit of a hill - Tough to get a spot If you're lucky, you might be able to get a spot on Byres Road which is free. So try there first!

It's a perfect car park if you want to access Sauchiehall Street it's not far to Buchanan Galleries or the Royal Concert Hall, just a few blocks' walk. It's a clean, well looked after, multi-story with 377 spaces and open 24/7, so you don't have to worry about getting back late after a show and finding the gate closed!! One hour costs £1.30 and it goes up around £2 an hour after that 5 hours is £8.50. Sunday all day is just £4.

Turns out the pothole at the beginning of the ramp has done a bit of reorganising to parts of the engine which will now need to be looked at. Take care here. Otherwise, decent enough price for 2 hours (£3.50) and a central location for shopping and eating in town.

I am also a massive Nike fan girl. I go to the gym a lot, bordering too much, so I need a fair amount of sports leggings/tops/bras. Basically, paying a little bit more of good quality, works for me as endless washes doesn't wear through the fabric resulting in see-through tights (my BIGGEST pet peeve at the gym) . The Nike shop in Kingsgate, isn't the biggest shop, but don't let that full you. There is a mens section on the left, womens on the right, kids in the middle and the shoe wall at the back. All the sizes available and all the colours are out for display, and at the very back wall, even further reductions. I picked up some Nike Free Runs for 55, which are normally around 100 in store. The staff were really helpful, even with half an hour to close, and suggested I do take the bigger size as your feet sweat. He also said if I wasn't happy with them after wearing indoors only, to come back and they'd trade sizes. I really appreciate honest staff, and saying this persuaded me to make the purchase as I did have the guarantee of being able to return. The clothes stock can be hit and miss, they didn't have the specific leggings I like, but they do get stock in 3 times a week, so its just a luck game! A great little shop, credit to the Nike brand and well worth the drive. Open till 8pm, Mon-Sat. Thanks to the friendly staff :)

It's easy to get to - it's up a ramp by the train station, and because the locals seem to hate it, it's never full. There's foot-exits at either end and meters, so it works out pretty well. Just be careful as it can be narrow for parking when it's busy. When you pay at the meter you need to enter your registration and put it on your dash, which I think is excessive. But I guess they're watching you on CCTV so it makes their lives easier. We once parked here and Graeme got our registration wrong, but thankfully they never fined us so obviously there's a human in there somewhere. All up, this is a pretty good car park for Clarkston Toll. If you're looking for other options, there's also parking at Clarkston Halls and on nearby streets. Be careful parking on the main road as there's often wardens out.
