Oh, we'll just go for a little walk says J9.
Well with the weather planned to worsen tomorrow we decided to get high into the Julian Alps and hope for some views of Triglav (the highest mountain - which we want to attempt some other time). In the end we climbed a sheer cliff face up from Lake Bohinj - 1k climb in 2km! And then headed to one of the Julian Alps Mountain Huts. Amazing! middle of nowhere and there are huts with loads of beds and supplying food all day long! Soup and hot apple strudel - yum! And fabulous views of the jagged peaks - unfortunately Triglav in cloud. J9 and I tempted to stay up and out but in the end we headed home - long trudge back out and back to ground level.

Spent all day getting from Scotland to Slovenia.
Camped at Camping Soca 2km out of Bled.

Wierd event - met Greg Hull at the airport - an old Leeds running friend who was coming out to walk with others. Turns out he was heading to where we were heading so we gave him a lift. Even more suprising, it turns our Greg is seeing Faye Pinker!

Much needed break.
Holidays tomorrow! Slovenia here we come!

MBK with HOrr at Carron Bridge.
We got lucky with really sunny weather whilst all around us was heavy showers! There's not much trails here so after much chatting and getting lost by me we realised we'd almost gone round twice! In an hour!
Hollie is very good at MBK and is being groomed by J9 and I for MBKO, which will compliment her foot O of course!
V tired and struggled on the hills. Need a rest.

Schmuck!
Only Inman could go for a warm up and miss the start of the race!
And not just miss it but be at least 2 minutes back. So, given my sore back and complete lack of drive tonight I was quite glad I could jog the race from the back. Stopped at the fence crossing near the top to watch the FVO'ers through and then jogged back down behind Jon X.
Some fab results from the O'ers:
Murray - 3
Doug -4

Martin top 15
Brad - in front of Kyle, then Will, then Jon, then Hazel, then me....

After loads of gardening (think I've done my back in!) went for an easy leg stretch through the Hydro (not stopping at the bar), Holm Hill and a loop of Leigh Hills (that disqualifies me from the upcoming evening event) and home. My legs are tired (getting the excuses in now before I die tomorrow night).

Kick started the survey of Loch Ard forest for MBKO.
My God, it's massive. Did the northern part from Milton and along Loch Ard-side - some great views of the Loch in the sunshine.
Back sore and I was feeling the weekend so didn't overdo it.
