What's On

Bicycle -based field trip to Tentsmuir Natural Nature Reserve.

For anyone who loves the game of golf, this course is an essential outing, and won’t spoil a good walk. The finest links golf courses are found in Scotland, but just north of the Old Course in St Andrews lies the incredible Tentsmuir National Nature Reserve, a natural, pre-formed links course, but without a sand wedge in sight!

Join Dr Keith Skene, the ecologist and writer, and discover how nature, geology and physics designed the best golf courses in the world, as sand dunes became bunkers and slacks became fairways. We will also discuss the importance of these places in terms of understanding the history and future of the planet.

We will travel by bicycle for some of this trip as the distances are too long to walk. Participants must arrange their own transport to Tentsmuir, bring a bike, lunch and cycle helmet for this three-mile cycle and walk on forest paths.

Details will be supplied as to the exact meet-up point later.

NB If you decide to participate in this outing , you do so at your own risk and should be prepared for rain.
