Elie Chain Walk: A Step-by-Step Guide

By James Carron

A step-by-step guide to the Elie Chain Walk in Fife, a unique coastal scramble following fixed chains and carved footholds through a chaotic landscape of volcanic rock.Created in 1929, the route demands a healthy spirit of adventure, a great deal of agility and a strong head for heights. But do not let that deter you from this amazing shoreline adventure. The solidly planted steel chains, perfectly placed footholds and grippy rock offer a comforting sense of security to those embarking upon this rough and ready challenge for this first time. Fully illustrated with maps and colour photographs, this guide covers the route from start to finish with advice on the best ways to tackle the eight separate chains and the terrain in between, a landscape of hidden coves and inlets, towering cliffs and crags, and spectacular geological formations and caves.Alongside practical advice on how and when to go, what to wear and take, there is information on the area's geology, wildlife, flora and military past.
