Saturday 29th August 2023 This the last day of this walking trip. We have a short walk of about eleven miles and then we will drive home. We left the Subaru at Lower Largo  where the coast path comes into the village and then returned to Pittenweem to start walking. It was looking like yetContinue reading “Day 310 – Pittenweem to Lower Largo 11.5 miles 675′ ascent”

Friday 28th July 2023 Today’s walk was to be slightly shorter than the last few days. We have decided that we will make use of the early finish to go to Elie and do the chain walk. As far as we can tell, not many coast walkers tackle this but Jill knew her brother hadContinue reading “Day 309 – Boarhills to Pittenweem 15.4 miles 808′ ascent.”

Thursday 27th July 2023 Today would a longish walk, planned to be 17.25  but I usually reckon the actual walked distance is 5-10% more than the measured distance on a map. The day should have lots of variety. We left a car at Boarshill and returned to the car park at Tentsmuir and started walking.Continue reading “Day 308 – Tentsmuir to Boarhills  18.5 miles 1010′ ascent”

Wednesday 26th July 2023 Setting up today’s walk meant we both drove to the car park at Tentsmuir. We were a little surprised to discover that not only do the Forestry Commission charge (OK only £2 per car) but they only take coins. I did check the year; it is 2023 not 2003. Also theContinue reading “Day 307 – Monifieth to Tentsmuir 17.1 miles 714′ ascent”

Tuesday 25th July 2023 Today we are leaving the charming little flat we have been staying in at Ferryden. We got everything packed up and were away by 8.45. We drove to Monifieth and left the Subaru in a beach car park then headed back to Auchmithie to start walking. Today we were well andContinue reading “Day 306 – Auchmithie to Monifieth 17 miles 946′ ascent”

Monday 24th July 2023 We drove to Auchmithie, left a car there and drove back to the beach car park at Montrose to start walking. Unfortunately the tide was too far in to access the beach itself and so we followed the roads around the harbour area of Montrose and to the bridge over theContinue reading “Day 305 – Montrose to Auchmithie 16.3 miles 1222′ ascent.”

Sunday 23rd July 2023 We had an easy set up, leaving the Volvo at the beach car park en route to Kinneff. The forecast was for a dry day and temperatures in the mid teens. We headed up the road and took a track off to the left to the radio masts on the hill. MyContinue reading “Day 304 – Kinneff Church to Montrose 17.2 miles 1057′ ascent”

Satuday 22nd July 2023 I expected today to be a bit of a mixed day and so it turned out to be. We were up early because we were moving on from the flat in Peterhead where we have been for the last five nights. We also have a long setup. Yesterday we left theContinue reading “Day 303 – Newtonhill to Kinneff Church 16.5 miles 1609′ of ascent”

Friday 21st July 2023 We had quite a long setup today and so we left our apartment in Peterhead soon after 7.30 but only started walking at 9.15 having left a car at Newtonhill, our finishing point. We walked over the Bridge of Don and down the other side to Aberdeen beach. From a walker’sContinue reading “Day 302 – Bridge of Don to Newtonhill 17 miles 1736′ ascent”

Thursday 20th July 2023 Yesterday’s walk had left us both feeling quite tired and a bit stiff this morning and so we were hoping for an easier day. We would have a couple of miles of cliff walking before being on the shore for the rest of the day and so it was largely aContinue reading “Day 301 – Collieston to Bridge of Don 17.1 miles 920′ ascent.”
