Woke in the middle of the night in excrutiating pain from one knee. Something got in the wrong place when I moved. The neighbours probably heard me scream.

Bike orienteering at Fearnoch. A 75 min score. Missed two controls and one minute overtime. It would have been just about doable had I been a bit more organised with the map. I always seem to be flapping around with bike-o! Couldn't read/plan on the move, and there was quite a bit of thinking to do. Need one of those swivel map boards, I guess. Unpleasant weather (hail), but great fun and a good turnout (40 or so). Knees feel much better afterwards. Funny how that works. Routegadget.

Collecting controls.

Coastal cliffs to Ganavan then back through the woods and inland. The weather an hour before was like last week, but the sun came out and it was a grand run. Very wet underfoot. Three of us started, but one didn't make it past The Chasm - admittedly it did seem a bit sketchy today.

Knees very sore and pop when I straighten them. Was it the skiing? Don't know. Time to rest up for JK.

Commute. Gears oh so silky smooth!

Commute

The usual lunchtime run up into Dunbeg Forest. Mark really pushed the pace today. Was feeling a bit sore from skiing, so didn't stick with him.

Half a day skiing the lifts at Glencoe with Tom and Lois. A stunning day - snowy mountains and blue skies. Lots of new powder, but the ice and rocks lurking beneath made it challenging at times.

Dunbeg with Mark. Stunning views over Mull - snow top to bottom of the mountains.

Hard up the hill.
