Join Sean in episode 4 of the Walk Fife as he explores some former railway lines that crisscross the region and which offer some interesting walking.

As Sean wanders through the landscape describing the surroundings he shares some news connected to Walk Fife and the outdoors.

We have added in A to Z listings page to help people find routes near them without having to use our main map page. Sean also shares news of some upcoming developments connected to the Walk Fife website.

Sean talks about the precautions surrounding disused railway lines and how to ensure you are not trespassing on to an active line by mistake which can be very dangerous and can also result in a hefty fine.

The winner of our recent competition is also announced. Adrian White is the lucky winner of a Coleman Fyrestorm PCS Stove. We will be announcing a new completion coming on to the website soon.

Join Sean as he updates us on the latest news from Walk Fife.

This month the podcast has been recorded in the studio after a microphone malfunction left Sean’s original attempt at recording it a mix of static and buzzing. Sean promises to be back outdoors for the next episode of the podcast.

Sean takes the opportunity to answer some of the most common questions that have been asked by followers of Walk Fife over the past month.

He explains the reason for advertising on the website and how it funds the cost related to the running of the Walk Fife website and plans to do away with adverts altogether.

Sharing news is the topic of another question and Sean explains how you can share your stories with fellow walkers.

This past month has seen the addition of a “History Walks” category to the website. The first route featured under this category takes us on a walk around Dunfermline stopping off at the many different historic locations scattered around the ancient capital.

The Fife Pilgrim Way (http://fifecoastandcountrysidetrust.co.uk/Fife-Pilgrim-Way_68.html) has gained funding from the National Lottery and Sean talks about how the route is going to benefit from the money and why routes like this are important to the walking community.

Sean announces a new completion coming to the Way Fife website soon. You could be in with a chance to win a Coleman Fyrestorm PCS camping stove. Sign up to our newsletter to find out when it goes live.

In this month’s Walk Fife Podcast Sean explores Devilla Forest near Kincardine on a very blustery February morning.

The Red Squirrel Trail was one of the first walking routes to be shared through the Walk Fife website and has been popular with walkers since it’s upload and was shared with us by Walk Fife volunteer Sue Richardson.

The route is agreed 1 family friendly stroll and is best walked in the spring and summer months in order to enjoy the wildlife and scenery. You can download this route by visiting http://www.walkfife.com/maps-routes/the-red-squirrel-trail-devilla-forest/

After suggestions from listeners of our first podcast this month’s podcast has been recorded entirely outside by Sean as he walks the route. The forest is currently being harvesting for timber and the Forestry Commission have seal felling operation underway in a number of locations throughout the are. Sean talks about the need to be aware of your surroundings when such operations are taking place and what safety precautions to take.

As Sean walks around the forest he talks about some of the latest updates that have been appearing on the website including the addition of our new grading system for route. The grading system aims to make choosing routes far easier for the walker.

Sean also talks about the recent two new web pages that have been added to the site. One page is for Fife Walking Club and the other for Cycle Fife. Both groups have supported Walk Fife by linking to our site and in return we have added information pages to allow people to find out more about their activities.

As the wind picks up Sean shares some safety and navigation tips for walkers some based on his own experiences and explains why the humble whistle is something you should not be without when out exploring the region.

This route is a excellent route to follow and there are many more through the forest that we hope will be shared through the Walk Fife website in near future.
