I walked to the beach today. Quiet a lovely experience. Here's the path I took.
I had begun by stitching a phone holder onto my bag but that turned out to be an exercise in futility since the phone was touchscreen and so kept getting "touched" by the bag/cover leading to mayhem.
Perhaps I'll use my Raspberry Pi to document the journey next time. It would certainly be a lot easier.
I started off during the evening. Maps gave the estimated time as 1.5 Hours and so taking into account my walking speed and the various elevations in the land, I had estimated 2-2.5 Hours to get there.
At first I was a little unsure of where I was going since the route looked quiet different from the Google Maps route. Those nearly straight lines? They are not nearly as straight as it seems. There are also elevations and flyovers adding to the confusion of an inexperienced walker.
During the last legs of the journey I did find confirmation that I was on the right track by way of seeing the water over the horizon of the road.
I might try going to St. Andrews beach next time, though I am told that the people there are not friendly to the passing admirer.
