Running 2:55:00 [3]
Glen Cat Skyline. Started on the south side up onto Arntilly Crag and along to Craiglash. Fair depth of snow (30cm+) out in the open even at this height (350m). Continued to Corybeg and Lamahip. 1 hour in then and the snow started. Couldn't see much but found my way onto the track across towards Brackenstake. By the time I left the track to start the climb there was full blown blizzard conditions and I stopped to put on my final waterproof layer. Compass got me to the top and off the other side, although I wouldn't have known if I had been in completely the wrong place. Still blizzarding by the time I reached the foot of Carnferg, so I decided to be sensible and by-pass the summit by taking the track round the side. Conditions eased for a bit and I continued along the wall line to go over the top of Creagandummie and Creagantoll before dropping to the track and eventually the Glen Cat road. Snow / hail again by this stage, but feet eventually warmed up going back along the road. Still feeling pretty good physically by the end, but not a day to be out for any longer. Glad of my 4 upper layers, but could have done with waterproof socks and over-trousers. 29th April ???
