This Sundays walk (12th August) is at Tentsmuir Forest. This year Roy Elder isn't available to lead the walk, so I'll give it a go. Some directions - Drive to Tayport and look for the sign in Tayport pointing towards Scotscraig Golf Course. At this point drive down Elizabeth Street, turning right at the bottom into Shanwell Road. Take the first left into the East Common car park where the walk will start at noon.
All dogs must remain on fixed leads at all times, and the two leggers need to pick any thing their four leggers drop on the way. Please watch out for other dogs that may well be off their leads on the walk, and please watch out for traffic moving about the car park.
Please bear in mind that some of the dogs and their two leggers are not as young and nimble as others, so please stop from time to time to allow all those attending to regroup.
There are still some roadworks in Tayport itself. so people may want to give themselves a little more time to get to the car park for the start of the walk.
Tayport sits on the B943 road, from either A92 (via Wormit and Newport), via the Tay bridge access road (last roundabout on A92 before the Tay bridge or first after bridge if coming from Dundee) or from St Michaels.
When entering Tayport from Tay bridge direction:
1: Enter tayport and continue over 1st Mini roundabout
2: Follow main road all the way round until you come to 2nd Mini roundabout (next to Tayport primary school)
3: Take the right exit and carry straight on past church on left hand side until next junction on left (Maitland street)
4: Take left turn down Maitland street and carry on to another mini roundabout.
5: Take right hand exit on to Nelson Street and follow this road (passing the Co-op on the left)
6: Continue down this road (Nelson Street becomes Shanwell road) until you come to a left hand turn into Links road North. There’s a small shop called Links stores on the corner. And a ‘P’ for parking sign.
7: Take the left turn in to the open common and the car parking is on the right.
Directions from St Michaels the same however you’ll have to continue through the town until Maitland street, which will be on the right).
Hi Steve.
My goodness.
What a lovely walk but what horrendous weather.
A great pity but thank you to the courageous few who ventured forth.
Thank you for leading it Steve and Julie.
