March 19, 2025,Bikepacking - Leuchars to St Andrews and Tayport

First day of a bikepacking overnight trip utilising the train in order to start at Leuchars and head up to Montrose. This ride went from Leuchars to St Andrews, then back to Leuchars before heading through Tentsmuir Forest to Tayport (an alternative start point to avoid doubling back would be Cupar station).
