Two Breweries recce with CK, GG & HH (and a random we picked up along the way). Going OK for the first couple of hours but properly crashed on Trahenna - distance was OK but not in that terrain! Haven't bonked like that for a long time - and hopefully that's the last time for a while!

Meall a' Bhuiridh and Creise from the ski centre. Pretty tired but able to move. Wasn't going to carry on to Creise until I got to the top and saw how cool the view & route looked.

Interesting journey home: sign says A82 closed south of Crianlarich: not a problem, we're taking the A85 from Crianlarich. A bit more traffic on that road as a result though. A mile or so short of the Killin junction we grind to a complete halt. After 10 minutes of being stationary we bail out and round a single track farm road to killin. Guessing that the road was closed at the junction we opted for the scenic route via Loch Tay & the A9. Not the quickest but a nice tour for my German travel buddy. Once homeTraffic Scotland was saying the A85 was still closed & the diversion route was via the now reopened but still partially blocked A82 - would have been hellish!

Midi-chepic long un round glen coe whole supporting skyline competitors. Aonach Eagach E-W, down to the road then long climb up Bidean nam Ban and back via the lost valley. AE was pretty cool but more of a walk than a run (38min/km along the scramble!), I refound my running mojo halfway up BnB and got lost in the lost valley. Great run! Time/dist/climb all estimates due to a lack of suunto juice.

The skyline was pretty cool as well and seemed to work despite the maverick course!

Note
(sick)

Post WOC collapse. Felt a bit rough after work yesterday so went straight to bed, missing Hector's sausage-fest. Basically stayed there for 24 hours (crawled to work for a token two hours this morning then straight back to bed). Feel much better now.

Had a long hilly one planned in the Cairngorms but felt a bit 'tired' so biked up Gleann Einich from Rothiemuchus. Nice. Didn't get quite to the loch as there was a pretty significant river crossing I wimped out at. Fun descent!
