	Tentsmuir Forest - Definition, explanation
		Tentsmuir Forest in Fife, Scotland, stands next to Kinshaldy Beach with a view across the Firth of Tay.
		The forest consists mainly of Scots Pine and Corsican Pine, a large part of which is a Nature Reserve (Tentsmuir Point National Nature reserve).
		Tentsmuir Forest is noteable for the many concrete blocks distributed along the shoreline, which acted as coastal defence against landing craft during World War II.

	Designated Areas - NNRs - Tentsmuir Point
		Sheltered by the forest, which was planted in the 1920s as a fairly recent episode in Tentsmuir’s long history, the more open dune areas can soon by invaded and shaded by seedling trees.
		The vast flock of eiders that gathers in the outer part of the Tay between October and March is a star turn among this abundance of birdlife.
		The northern part of Tentsmuir is one of the fastest- growing parts of Scotland,while at the southern end the sea is making inroads plucking sand back to the deeps.

		The networks of track and path created by the foresters to allow the movement of wood are a God-send for walkers, mountain-bikers and pony trekking enthusiasts.
		This was used to store salmon netted in the sea and on the opposite side of the forest road, almost obscured by trees and shrubbery, there's a small pond which provided the ice.
		The track curves right to reach the junction at the edge of the forest where we were earlier in the day.

	Kingdom Magazine - Tentsmuir Paradise
		Bounded by the Tay and Eden estuaries, the vast expanse of Tentsmuir Forest in north-east of Fife is incredibly rich in wildlife.
		The forest opens out here and this is a good place to see tree pipits – dowdy little birds which are much more patchy in their distribution in Scotland compared with its close cousin, the meadow pipit.
		The broad sweep of Tentsmuir Sands is never far away and any trip to the forest should always include a quick sojourn to the open and empty beach, where in many instances you will only have the seals for company.

	Tentsmuir SoSOL9 Results
		The final distances were based on SoL3 times for the forest, a judgement of who might turn up and a little bit of perception of competitor view that some distances are too long regardless of the ground speed that might be realised.
		The forest is one that all enjoyed and the String Course also enjoyed by all, young and old, especially with the views across the Tay to Broughty Ferry and Dundee.
		Further, we are very grateful to Forest Enterprise for the use of Tentsmuir Forest, and for their putting up signs guiding us into the forest.

		Although the fraction of the forest sprayed was variable (because spraying was targeted at areas of high density) it is a reasonable first approximation to assume that spraying imposes a constant additional mortality on the affected stage, larvae in the following generation.
		The outcome was unchanged: for both Culbin and Tentsmuir, none of the bootstrap values (for the improvement in fit between maternal and parasitoid models) was as large as the value on the actual data.

		The organisers have laid out an interesting 'flat' course with plenty of opportunities to test your Gee's and Haw's, with trail surfaces varying from hard packed forest track interlinked with predominantly grass trails to areas of sand which may be used for the larger teams.
		These trails are without doubt some of the most 'dog friendly' of the championships and boots should not be required.
		Due to the layout of the forest, it is sometimes necessary to run the race over part of the access road, which means that the road may be closed during classes.

		The forest floor is the distinct layer of dead and decaying plant material that accumulates on the soil surface, which lies above the mineral soil and includes small woody debris.
		Forest succession is a fundamental ecological phenomenon, which has significant implications for sustainable ecosystem management as well as biological, biophysical, and biogeochemical processes.
		The sill of variograms of images of forest stands decrease with regularization, and in particular the rate of decrease is related to the size of trees.

		Forest roads are ideal for mountain biking, and cyclists will soon burn up that chocolate log on the varied gradients and long straights in Craigvinean Forest, near Dunkeld, Drummond Hill, by Kenmore, or Griffin Forest, south of Aberfeldy.
		What happens to the forest is very much a matter of human decisions, including both those affecting the direct destruction with chainsaws and the indirect threats such as climate change.
		The forest cover has been reduced from 20% in 1995 to 17% today while 70% of the land was covered with forest nearly 3 decades ago.

		They are very intolerant of excess fertilisers, so areas like Tentsmuir that are not treated have a fantastic show of colourful waxcaps and club fungi such as parrot waxcap and apricot club.
		Most newcomers to mycology want to learn about which species are edible; Tentsmuir is recognised as the best place locally for foraging.
		There are several of the better wild mushrooms growing in profusion throughout the woods, but remember, be careful not to poison yourselves, it takes time and effort to learn which species are safe to eat.

		At the car park close to the sand dunes the path turn north along the edge of the forest and for the next 3 miles runs almost due north over a variety of path surfaces until reaching the south eastern edge of the Firth of Tay.
		On reaching Tentsmuir Point the forest path heads in a westerly direction, but again at this point we recommend a very short detour off the track to get your first view up the Tay towards Broughty Ferry and Dundee.
		The walk remains on the forest track till a point close to Tayport where the way heads to the right and onto a path by the side of the tidal beach.

		Possible evidence of erosion on the seaward side of Lucky Scalp is shown by the proximity of the destroyed navigation beacon to the beach which would presumably have been built somewhat landwards on the former beach position.
		From a vantage point on the high dunes it can be seen that several hundreds of metres of accumulation has taken place at this area since the concrete blocks were emplaced.
		The growth of this part of Tentsmuir can be determined from Ordnance Surveys of the area and since about 1940 by aerial photography.
