Training session at Inchmarnoch. Trying to run a bit harder whilst keeping contact. Messed up no 4 badly, otherwise going quite well.

Along the river to start and back from finish.

Sadly not so sunny Deeside today, but at least the cloud's not down to sea level and more importantly it's not midgy.
Parked at Abergeldie and ran up through the forest onto the Sgor an h-Iolaire ridge (Prominent Peak). From there dropped SW to the main Girnock track and headed S to Meall Gorm (Prominent Peak). Returned N by the track W of Tom Bad a Mhonaidh then down through the forest to the day's starting point. Good run and legs feeling ok.

Midges and Scotch mist - time to beat a hasty retreat from the west back to sunny Deeside.

Hill run up Ben Hiant (528m and a Prominent Peak). Weather cleared up nicely. Good going on a grassy path. Top in 28'. Great view point from the top.

Morning walk up the Strontian River and Sunart oak woods with J and E (1.5 h). Fantastic place. Avoided the rain nicely.
Also along the beach below the campsite at Kilchroan later.

Training at Creag Mhic. Nicer going than across the road. Took a while to warm up, but going a bit faster once I got into it.

Walk with J and E near Lochaline up through the forest to an old settlement (1.5 h). Found the first blaeberries of the year.

Training session at Ardnastie (as renamed by J). See what he means - completely different place from two months ago with the vegetation up. O was pretty clean but not moving very fast.

Easy cycle with J and E on the back road from Benderloch. A bit damp. Good tea / book shop after.

From the campsite at Benderloch up Beinn Lora (308m). Not very inspiring forest but a nice run. Great views from the top on a good day but coming and going a bit today.

Managed to find enough space in the ladies for a good stretch.
