05/06/2026

It's the big day folks... The first day of the walking festival....

And we have some advice for you...

Can everyone attending any of the walks please download WHAT 3 WORDS... if you haven't heard of it W3W is an app which gives you a 3 word code to pinpoint exactly where in the world something is.

So today's walks are Connecting the Benches and The Woodland Walk

If you click on the link at the bottom it'll take you to the pinned post where you can find a link to every walk and see where they start from.

We have provided one of these for every walk, so there shouldn't be anyone getting the meetup location wrong as we have had in the past occasionally.

Please remember to wear suitable footwear, bring some water with you and also maybe a wee snack if you think you'll need it.

Also the weather forecast isn't great for some days... So please check that the walk is still going ahead xx

Description of the walk...
Starting at the Heart of Kirkcaldy, we will walk to the other end of the prom then back... The objective is to walk is to do “laps” of the prom and see how many you can fit into the time frame. You can at any point “tap out and tap back in” if you need the toilet or some food or even a wee break... So something a bit different.
