I’m afraid I couldn’t look that far ahead when Les was
contacting us in June – there was still too much of 2018 to enjoy – but it
isn’t too late to join in the fun of the club holiday week.
The club post-Easter holiday is booked from Thursday April 25th to
Thursday 2 May at Balmeadowside Country Lodges in Fife, on OS Landranger
map 59 GR 317183, to the NW of Cupar. There are plenty of places to visit - lovely
fishing villages, including Crail, Anstruther, Pittenweem and Elie, dot the
southern coast. The National Trust properties provide plenty of ride destinations – the ruins of Balmerino Abbey founded in the 13th century to the north-east, the 14th century Kellie castle and gardens, the Renaissance Palace at Falkland and the Hill of Tarvit Mansion and Garden, an example of Edwardian stately living – and I haven’t yet mentioned the many treasures to be found in and round St Andrews where Historic Scotland are custodians of the Castle, the cathedral and various other religious ruins.
The beaches are legendary (Nigel is known to have capsized on one near St Andrews when paddling from Stirling to Perth). And there is plenty to see if you go further afield – Dallas wants to visit the V & A at Dundee.
Last but by no means least, our cycling friends from
Perth tell us there is a lot of good cycling in the area.
Cost is around £150 per person and the week is always
good value with good company and good cheer.
It’s not too late to join in! Contact Les to go ahead. It
will be fun!
