Hike/jog (mostly hike) around the Ben Cruachan horseshoe. A fine day - saw the view from the top at last, though rather hazy. There was an amazing contrast in temperature from near-summer in the sun at the bottom, to the cold, cold wind screaming across the icy ridges (time ~3:40 with stops).

Part of an old M21E course from 1996(?) on the Aird's Park map. Edge of map-11-12-7-...-11. 37 mins at about 10 min/km. Not pushing hard, but still struggling to keep map contact. It's the first time in ages I've run on a complex map at 1:15. Great terrain, though more physical and rougher under foot than I remember it. Saw a fox.

Too late for intervals, so a quick Glenshellach road loop. It felt good. The sheep were down on the road - maybe it was windy on Druim Mor. Sheep don't seem to be afraid of a runner in the dark, so it was hard not to trip over them.
