There were some cool spiders webs though.
There was little to hang around for. Even our little camp stove was running low on gas, so no morning coffee. We feasted on bananas, ham and croissants before packing up and setting on our way. It was ridiculously early, but nothing to hang around for.
There are few photos from the first part of the day, as it was so foggy. We walked past golf courses and Kingsbarns beach, which is meant to be very nice.
By about 9 o'clock the weather was beginning to clear - it didn't take long. Suddenly the sun was beating down again and it was getting pretty hot.
The route then turned inland along a pretty river.
The path crossed over this bridge and headed back towards the coast again, via some farmland.
Then on for the final stretch of the walk. Aches and pains were in full force, but St Andrews was not far away now, so we pushed on.
The final stretch is a great walk, but tiring as it goes up and down a lot.
And then alongside some interesting rock formations. This one I call 'The Elephant'.
This one looks like a big club and shield.
St Andrews - our final goal! We were feeling a bit desperate for the finish line now, and at 11am the sun was seriously hot!
We stumbled in, utterly exhausted, and flopped out in the shade by the beach, next to the first kiosk we found. Cold drinks never tasted so good!
It was only lunchtime, so the rest of the day was spent staggering to a few last bars/pubs. St Andrews is a wonderful place to visit, but our energy had been spent.
Having said that, we were pleased with ourselves. We had completed our second long distance footpath, and this time carrying all our kit too.
I insisted on one last photo next to the Old golf course. We then headed for the bus station and home.
So, where are we going to walk next? Watch this space.
