2nd Milngavie Trail Race (13.5 km, 500 feet climb) in 74:06. Sunhat, sunglasses and bottle of liquid needed on a sunny Sunday morning. Quite close to Emma at the turn (probably about 90s up on last year?) but faded a little on the way home. 69/196. Thomas 5th in 56:56, Emma 60th in 72:15. Slightly quicker than last year.

Jogged round first ever Drumchapel parkrun #1. Challenging course with multiple climbs on rough but well maintained tracks. Passing local smoking "medicinal" cigarette apprehended by the police just before the start ... welcome to Drumchapel!

Cycle to and from parkrun.

FVO WEE Polmaise, Green (4.6 km) in 64:31. Strange area consisting mostly of rhododendrons and a huge quarry. Big miss at 4 (where I re-surveyed a block of green the mapper had clearly never bothered to go into), and, more inexplicably, at 9 (where I missed the flag and then thrashed around for a while). Useful exercise on a gloriously sunny evening.

A bit tired after the last three days!

Meall a Bhuiridh (1108 m) and Stob a Ghlais Chorie (996 m) from Glencoe Ski Centre with the family plus Ali and Gary plus Ben and Josie on a still and sunny day. Perfect walking conditions. Rocky underfoot near the top and on the arête between the two Munros. Steady pace with plenty of stops.
