Plod up to Ben Avon and Beinn a Bhurd.
Glad for the bike to cut down the distance but freezing first off (good frost at Braemar). Onto the hill and despite knee being quite sore last night soon freed up on the climb and felt OK. Quite a wind going though up top even though a good splattering of sunshine ... Loved the plateau - was like Dartmoor but 1000m up and a bit colder (and lonelier and less roads). Ran (shuffled) as much as I could so pretty pleased. Motivation lacking on the descent until a Swedish ultra-runner student caught me up and gave me some impetus. He was raving about the scenery - nice to remind ourselves how good we have it.
Scared a good few DofE groups of girls on the way through the glen when overtaking them. Apparently you need to have music on loudspeaker when you're doing DofE now...
Very little effort required to get the bike back down... tailwind and downhill.
