Mtn Bike 20:00 [3] 5.6 km (3:34 / km)
In to Derry Lodge. Weather can't make up its mind. Cloudy, raining, and sunny. And very blustery.
Trail / Terrain Run 2:26:00 [3] 16.3 km (8:57 / km) +850m 7:06 / km
shoes: Mudclaw 300 b/r
Needed a long one and weather forecast seemed mixed but potentially worth a trip up the valley. Had decided on Carn a'Mhaim with the possibility of extending it to Macdui and returning via Derry Cairngorm or Loch Etchacan and the Hutchison hut.
Nice and steady up to the Luibeg Burn. Didn't need to get my feet wet. Steady up the climb too. Sun out in the Lairig Ghru and a nice full rainbow with one end at Corrour. Very strong wind though, pretty cold with a bit of rain, and also cloudy higher up so regretfully decided to skip the stretch options and head down via Allt Carn'a Mhaim. Pretty slow through the heather and tussocky grass until catching the path beside the Luibeg burn. Felt reasonably strong on the way back to Derry Lodge.
