I recently moved to Dundee and the other half and I fancied a nice relaxing bimble by the sea tomorrow evening. Are there proper mountain bike trails in Tentsmuir starting from the Tayport end? Just a case of get lost and find your way out again or does anyone have some specific pointers?

Cheers,

P

There's tracks and roads criss crossing the whole forest. Head east along main track to car park and beach. Then work your way back. You may get lost but on a bike it's easy enough getting out.
One tip... If the track you're on is starting to get overgrown turn around

Follow the reflectors on the trees*
* this works better at night 🙂
It's part of my commute to St Andrews and a few of us go round a circuit on Tuesday nights.
Come along one night if you want a guided tour.

Cheers Chaps. Went for a ride. Found a couple of nice bits but mainly fire road. Will head back out at some point as I'm sure there is more than I managed to find.

Fasthaggis - Thanks for the offer, will take you up on it at some point if that is OK?

Take heed! Cover up if you're heading through some of the more overgrown bits- got a few ticks on me the other day - very grim!
