Driesh and Mayar. Up by the Kilbo path and back by Corrie Fee. Ran some of the descent and a bit between the tops. Legs generally weary on the climb. Out for 3:40 total

Decent week - pretty much to plan.

From Baddoch up the spur to Carn Aosda then west to Carn a Gheoidh. Someone switched the lights off at this point with thunder / darkness to the north, just where I was headed next. Carried on across the Baddoch Burn (low level escape option) and round to the col between Beinn Iutharn Bheag and An Socach at which point it was decision time. The hail came on at this point, so I abandoned the former and headed up An Socach, deciding that the lightning was still a few miles away. Cleared out a bit after this so continued on round the tops via Sgor Mor before descending back to Baddoch. Felt like I was going ok for most of the time. Nice conditions underfoot apart from a section of heathery peat-hag slog round towards An Socach.
Peewits, curlew, grouse chicks, cloudberry, hares, deer, golden plover and dotterel

Down to the river by the mill then upstream to mansion and back by road

Stopped off at LK on the way home from Ballater. Beautiful. Yet again.

Hanging and collecting at BW for ASC. No J so took longer to put them out, but thanks to JJ for help with collecting. Not so keen on the mosies... shorts maybe a mistake.
Feeling pretty tired this morning, but ok running this afternoon.

From Queen's Loch along the road to gamie's track, up the hill then back by the Fungle. Gorgeous again.

4x4'+2' steady efforts up the hill. Feeling great and loving it!

Finishing off with a fab swim in Queen's Loch. Water was so warm!
Never met a sole from start to finish.

2nd attempt to run at Carlogie with E. River down enough this time, although still bum depth. Loop round the south side by tracks etc up over the hill and back to recross further upstream. Felt tired on hill, but otherwise legs not too bad.

Easy round the woods with J. Legs feeling pretty stuffed and right knee complaining a bit, but tried to keep some form on the hills. Hopefully will feel more recovered tomorrow.

Back from Altens to Banchory by S D Rd after dropping car at garage. Not the most relaxing of roads. Some offensive driving.
