From Loch an Eilein visitor centre round the Lochan Mor loop, seeing no-one, then round the Loch an Eilein loop, seeing hundreds of folk on their Saturday walk. Bees, honeypots sprang to mind. Kept the tempo high for the duration of both. Felt good. Great scenery.
Sgor Gaoith from Balachcroick just south of Lagganlia. Very windy it definitely was. Cold. Ptarmigan, a hare, woodcock and reindeer. Didn't see a thing from the top. Out for a bit less than 5. With T.
Aborted trip up into the Cairbgorm plateau from Coire na Ciste..way too windy unfortunately. Meall a'Buchaille loop via Ryvoan instead. Still windy. With T. Out for 3.30 ish
Warm up/down (Forvie Blue) 40:40 [3] 5.2 km (7:49 / km) +125m6:59 / km
Focused very well. No misses. Cleanest run for a good while.
Caught AndyL two minutes at 4 after having seen him ahead from 2. Then caught JakeC at 10 after he'd made mistakes. Kept him from gaining more than 40s by the finish. That's ok.
