Between Bamburgh and Beadnell on 10k and half-m supporting duties. Mainly cycle path but some road. Too difficult to get on the sand and coastal path race route on a bike unfortunately.

With k on warm down.

Craigrath today. Bright morning.
Tough climb up to top of Craigrath (37.50), cp96, with a few windblown trees to duck under. Went for the long loop for a change, partly to check out changes to paths/rides since Fare Challenge last summer. A lot of sandy tracks made for tough work. Always a nice loop up there though.

Just before getting back to the car met D&EC on the way out to cp96 and DK having just done it. cp mania on Deeside.
Good spin.

Glen O'Dee keeping things flat just now. Calf progressing.

Retrieved tapes from taped route at January event.

Was heading for Craigrath on the bike but dentist said not today. Too strenuous after a tooth extraction apparently. Lovely day so light jog at Crathes instead. Nice.

Another 4 hours+ tramping round Balnagowan taping with only the woodpeckers, deer and pheasants for company. Took the bike to get out to some of the far ones but less useful than I hoped.

Walking about Balnagowan taping control sites for a good while.

Helium
Delayed setting out as snow on the roads.
Scolty cp, south side of the Dee via cp 62; up to Shooting Greens but very slow and walked some of it when came across sheet ice. Road dodgy down to Potarch. Was going to go up through Sluie but stuck to the road round and then through Craiglash to avoid ice. Glassel, then down to Inchmarlo and back thorugh Banchory.

Physio: maybe easy jogging in next day or so.

Saw the weather and wimped out.
Peddled in front of NRKs coverage from Falun. Relieved the boredom and topped up the Norwegian at the same time.

Lots of calf stretching...and of others too.
