Day 6 Walking: Elie – St. Monan’s

8km. Sunny with clouds. Windy.

Our walk was at high tide, but we were still able to not walk along the high tide route, which is along the road. We were able to speak with a few locals in Elie (pronounced Eee-lee) who helped us with deciding to take the coastal route, and at least for this high tide, even with the wind, we were more than fine. At very end of the walk today, beside the church at St. Monan’s, there was a tricky bit that I felt nervous about with Dad, but he nailed it.

Beautiful coastal views. Still plenty of beach left during this high tide.
We didn’t plan it right, but a good lunch spot if you don’t want to carry.
Such a beautiful day, even with the strong winds. Newark Castle ruins in the distance.

The tricky bit. Dad found his steps easily.
