Ecko Inverawe. Blue, 5.6 km. Fun course planned Calum and Tom. It seems to get tougher and tougher out the back side, though. Really slow going! Otherwise, a lovely, soggy romp around the woods.

Swim in the bay with Dima. The locals looked at us like we were nutters. It was lovely though.

Time off in the afternoon and wanted to get up into the hills/forests around Baiona. Thanks to some aerial photos figured out the way across the motorway, and it led straight into some nice pine/eucalyptus forest. Lots of tracks ... was starting to get a bit confused, but there were a few map boards. Came across some ancient rock carvings - quite interesting. A bit like Kilmartin cap+ring but with people, deer etc. Went on, higher and higher. The paths became raging torrents, so had to run in the forest and was starting to get disoriented with the cloud coming down. So bailed out and backtracked before reaching a peak.

Along the waterfront and around the Parador in Baiona. Drizzle and some big Atlantic waves coming in on the most epxosed bit of the beach. Not running too hard - more an escape from meetings than a training run!
