Sunday Runs 2/9/2012

On Sunday, 9 members turned up at the leisure centre.
Gus headed up to the Bothy while Tom and Mary set off on the B run.
Charlie, Dave, Ian, Angela, Norman, and Jim Murray set off on a run to Fife.
The route to Dundee was out by Inverarity and Fotheringham before climbing over Carrot Hill.

Once down by Kellas in into the Ferry, Norman turned off. Just before the Docks Ian and Angela turned away opting for a shorter run. Charlie, Jim, and Dave headed over the bridge stopping for a coffee at the kiosk and a blether with George and Margaret Berwick who were on their way into Dundee for the weekly shop. It was turning into a pleasant sunny day as the trio made their way along through Wormit before cutting back around by Links Wood and St Michaels then on by Balmullo to Dairsie. Now on the back roads they crossed over the River Eden and headed up the picturesque Dura Den arriving at Pitscottie just in time for lunch. The White Chimney's cafe proved worth a visit whereafter they continued  along the B road towards St Andrews before turning down to Strathkinness.

A steep climb up through the village was rewarded by a long descent down to the main road where they joined the cycle route by Guardbridge, Leuchars, Tayport, then back along to the bridge. Once in Dundee they retraced the route up by Kellas and back over Carrot Hill and down to Inverarity and home.
