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!

1x2, 1x1.5, 2x1. Not ready for doubles yet.

Lunch on the seat. Three climbs: dasses, bog trot and radical road. Nice day.

Lunchtime canal progression. Got down to 3:20s but couldn't go faster than that. Normal, in other words.
