Easy
Although taking into account there was about +60 elevation difference and a bit of rough path/terrain, it looks a bit like a Steady one... Felt easy though so good stuff.
After fluking an Advanced Higher Chemistry exam (revised 30mins last night) I was off up Scolty the South way. Did a loop of the top and a terrain descent to the saddle, very slow in the high heather. Back down after that keen for some O. Felt generally pretty bad but quite good by the end, hill legs were not active today unsurprisingly (after the weekend). Still managed to run everything and only stopped at the top to observe the amazing views today, good day for it.

Scolty Forest Sprint - No Kites
Did the course from Friday, more like a control pick though. Wanted to practice bearings but forgot my compass... So practiced my bearings without a compass, if that makes sense. People were complaining the terrain was horrible but I quite enjoyed it really, although it could have been the nice sunny weather. The forest was messy yes, but there were nice bits of o-heaven in there. Got on pretty well and only stopped at one control to figure out what pit the map was showing. Kites would have changed everything.
Map will come soon.

WD
Rolling back down and through Banchory, picking up a reward at the shop. Some very smart MTBers have made a path winding alongside the road up to Scolty which is awesome to run on! Makes this longish trek to/from Scolty quite a bit more enjoyable.
