Unfortunately, we are unable to offer an Extended walk on the 13TH September due to a lack of a Walk leader.

It has also been suggested by Andy Bennett that we might be able to provide a stroller walk, similar to that which was previously offered in the Dunkeld area during August.

The walk today begins on Elie main street. Heading north out of town,  we then walk on an LRT through open woodland towards Elie House on our left hand side, then we continue the walk to Kilconquhar loch, keeping the loch on our left hand side, before crossing the B941 and into more overgrown woodland for a short distance until we reach the A917. On crossing the road there is a short section of tarmac road walking (300m approximately), then we join another open section of woodland heading towards Elie holiday and Shell bay where we will have our lunch stop.

After lunch we follow the Fife coastal path towards Kincraig Hill. Walkers please note this section involves climbing many steps to reach the top of the hill, on the descent there are steep steps which may require the use of poles. Care should be taken at this point. After leaving Kincraig hill behind us, our walk continues through the Golf course, towards the “Chapel on the sea”. On reaching Earlsferry there are 2 options to continue the walk towards Elie. Firstly, walkers can either choose to walk along the beach to Elie, or Secondly, walkers can choose to walk along the main street at Earlsferry until reaching Elie, and the waiting coach.

Please remember to come prepared for all types of weather and with adequate food and water. Gaiters and poles may be useful.

Our coach leaves the John Wright’s Sports Centre car park at 8:30am sharp and returns around 7:00pm.
