Description
This route uses core paths, minor roads, urban pavements and cycle routes, except where it passes through the grounds of Rossie Estate. Between Rait and Longforgan it is safe and easy to navigate, (although the core paths are not waymarked). There are signs near the entrances to Rossie Estate asking for dogs to be on leads. Between Murrayshall and Rait there may be livestock close to the paths over the hills. Between Longforgan and Dundee the road (cycle route 77 ) may be busy and traffic on Riverside Drive may be unpleasant, however the easternmost part of the route, close to the River Tay estuary, is interesting with sculptures and interpretation particularly relating to the Tay Bridge Disaster.
Between Rait and Longforgan the roads have a 40mph speed restriction. Good views in places over the Carse of Gowrie.
There is a regular bus service along the A90, and less frequent services to various villages in the Carse. The Antiques Centre at Rait offers a tea shop, and there is a shop and Inn in Longforgan.
At Rait there is a core path which would have provided a short cut, however it is not easy to find, and (in June) was overgrown, so I have mapped the route along the road

Surveys
We are working to build-up a picture of what routes look like. To do that we are asking volunteers to survey routes so that we can communicate features, obstacles and challenges that may make a route desirable or not.
Slow Ways surveyors are asked to complete some basic online training, but they are not vetted. If you are dependent on the survey information being correct in order to complete a route, we recommend that you think critically about the information provided. You may also wish to wait until more than one survey has been completed.
