Outing to the Pittenweem Arts Festival - 8 August 2024

Forty one members and guests boarded the coach in Edinburgh for our fourth and final outing of 2024 hoping the weather would be better than the predicted rain showers. We collected another member in Inverkeithing and headed to Dobbies at the Dunfermline Retail Park for our coffee stop. Our final member joined us there.

We reached Pittenweem in good time but discovered that the coach parking place was actually in Anstruther at Waid Academy. After heading back to Pittenweem, we were dropped off (I won’t say where as there were parking restrictions!).

There were so many venues to visit so we headed off in small groups at our own pace. Liz had brought her copy of the Festival programme and suggested that it was a good buy.

As the weather held, we were able to explore at our leisure. Everyone was back on the coach in good time to head off for our tea.

We were on our way to the Upper Largo Hotel when the rain started. By the size of the puddles the coach hit on the road side it had been very wet. The portions at the hotel were large and the food was tasty.

All too soon it was time to head home. By this time the rain was very heavy but it had stopped by the time we reached Edinburgh.
