Day 10 - Dunbar to St.Andrews
Hopefully if I'm still standing after the previous 70 mile running day, this day will start from Dunbar and for the first time make my way 50 miles in land along the Firth of Forth. I will pass Edinburgh and the Forth Bridge (Picture 1) and continue along the River Forth until I cross at Kincardine Bridge (Picture 2).

After crossing the Forth and having lunch in Kincardine, I will make my way 50 miles back to the North Sea. Passing towns such as Rosyth, Burntisland, Kirkcaldy, Buckhaven, Antstruther then St. Andrews to finish. This 133 mile journey have a colorful and varied fauna and flora next to the Firth Forth.
In total the ascent and descent will be nearly the same at 3058ft, with the highest point being 331ft.
It might look strange to travel so far in land just to turn back, however it will be the first and last time that I will have the opportunity on this expedition to follow one of the UK's estuaries all the way inland to where it stops being tidal.
