Running 2:50:00 [3] 19.4 km (8:46 / km) +950m 7:02 / km
First long run with J in a long time. From Loch Muick cp up tourist route to col below the ladder, drop to Lochnagar loch outlet (cp 100) then up the NE ridge to the summit. Strong wind turned into vicious gusting gale on the climb from the loch, almost taking us off our feet and blowing us uphill onto rocks. V glad of full waterproof (as well as windproof running top) and gloves. All a bit exciting for a while. Decided to return by Glas Allt to drop out of the wind asap. Really struggling on the climb today - just no energy in my legs to work - but downhill felt ok.
Never underestimate Lochnagar. I've had too many "interesting" times up there.
