  Fife Coastal Path: Elie to St Monans East Pier

  The weather report looked good for this past Saturday, and I was finally energetic enough to return to my goal for the year – and about time too! It occurs to me that my travel schedule may make it a lot harder to get some of these walks done, but I can only give it…

  April in review – what HAVE I been up to?

  April has been a month dominated by travel – I was away from home for 3 1/3 weeks, with half of the time spent working and the other half with family for an important family birthday

  Two Bridges Walk, Glencoe

  First, a disclaimer: this is not an ‘official’ walk, but rather a trek that we stumbled onto ourselves. It isn’t really a loop, and not really an out-and-back, instead two out and back paths, and it is a record of the walk we took most recently when visiting Glencoe. It combines parts of a few…

  Brecklet Trail, Ballachulish

  For the past ten years or so, it has become a tradition for the other half and I to take a long weekend off in March and to head north into the Highlands. We find a nice place to stay – sometimes self-catered, sometimes a hotel – and spend a few days in lovely scenery,…

  Fife Coastal Path: Tayport to Newport

  Or more exactly, Tayport Shanwell Road to Newport Main Street roundabout. This portion of the coastal path is easily accessible by public transport. I took the 42A bus (picked up in either St Andrews or Dundee) right to the Shanwell Road turning circle, location of the Foodmek manufacturing plant and one entrance to Tentsmuir Forest…

  Broughty Castle, Broughty Ferry

  Broughty Castle is located at a prominent point on the northern edge of the Firth of Tay, about 5 miles east of the centre of Dundee, with a sandy beach on one side and sheltered harbour on the other. It is easily accessed by public transport, with busses running regularly and trains taking only 5…

  Fife Coastal Path: Earls Hall Castle to Kinshaldy Beach…sort of

  I woke up on Saturday morning and was welcomed the bright sunlight I could see peeking in around the edges of the curtains. I leapt out of bed and immediately set to work enacting my planned walk for the weekend: picking up from last weekend, I intended to walk from Earls Hall Castle to Kinshaldy…

  Fife Coastal Path – Guardbridge to Earls Hall Castle

  It was another cold grey windy weekend, but I was determined not to let that stop me from checking off even a small segment of my walk. So, I took to the maps and planned a loop that started at the north end of Guardbridge at the more northerly of the two bridges

  My ambition – the Fife Coastal Path

  The other morning as the other half and I batted around options for where to walk, an idea came to me. It was born partly out of curiosity, partly inspiration, and partly the drive to become more fit this year: I want to walk the Fife Coastal Path. Not, as some do, in a few…

  A taste of January

  For many people, January is the worst month of the year. But, I think January has some good aspects, too: you are getting back to a routine after an often hectic holiday period (hey, I like routine); days are getting longer so that by the end of the month you can really see that it…
