Walks

Hello everyone!!

I hope you had a pleasant Christmas break! Moreover, hopefully exams haven’t destroyed you - or maybe they did, but the first bit of intersemester break should have given you the opportunity to rest properly, so… here I am, to suggest you a few things you may want to do during the last few days of holiday!!

Did you know there is a botanic garden  in St Andrews?? Well, if yes, did you pay it a visit?

You really should :-P  I went there a couple of days ago and enjoyed it a lot! It is not a big garden, but it is peaceful and cute and there are a fair number of very weird plants to enjoy.

The “hard” bit may be to actually get there. The following link will direct you to a map.

If you want to be more adventurous, just get yourself to Argyle Street where you fill find some road signals showing – just keep following them =)

If you’d like something bigger and fancier the Tentsmuir forest is just a few miles away!

It is easily reachable by bike. Otherwise, you can get a bus to Tayport and then reach the northern entrance by foot.

If your passion is hillwalking, I have the perfect website for you:

in the top right corner, click on “find a walk” to specify your requirements and get the most appropriate walk to your needs.

A personal suggestion: do take the time to walk along the coastal path! There are more views past Albany Park – to be totally honest, the path gets a bit muddy and wilder, however, there are some very nice spots – not to be missed. Really. 

Happy walking!

Sustainability at University

Hello Greeners!
I realised I still haven't put on the links to the University resourceful website!

This is the link to the homepage of  all the sustainability facts and tips

From here you can access directly the resources about transportation

And finally, from here you can dowload the pdf map with the suggested pathways and cycling routes - really useful if you need some fresh air and have a healthy break from study :-)
