Marmot Dark Mountains East Lakes, with J.
Epic. Wild winters night. Happy to survive and very surprised to win the B class outright. We weren’t moving very quickly. Got very wet and cold early on but managed to get enough kit on to survive the night. Not sure I’d have got all the way round without the big waterproof sealskinz gloves. Feeling footsore in dobs by the end, but they were well worth it up on the hill when the snow settled in.
Felt I was in much better shape for this last year, but I think I knew that before the start.
Highlights... Putting up a snipe then it hovered in the wind in front of us looking quite bemused. Coming across a herd of white and black wild horses. When the snow stopped and the moon came out.

C • Weather sounded brutal!! We... 3

Jog round MapRun at GML. New phone doesn’t seem to work quite so well.

Short w-u

Scolty DNC. Missed a bit on 1 and 3 then did a headless chicken on 4, distracted by all the lights around me. Settled down after that and plodded steadily round the rest. Not exactly sparkling but less eventful than some other weeks.

Lap of Loch Kinord from Dinnet. Very icy as expected. Didn't wear dobs as have run quite a lot in them recently, but managed to stay upright ok on edge of path. Was quite slow and meant to be an easy effort but HR seemed high. Maybe just the ice effect. Lovely day.

Easy week - lots of R+R
