Not feeling 100% and still tired - another day R+R won't do any harm

Sluie planning, checking the state of the forest and control sites. Mostly snow free now. Felt dreadful - cold hasn't developed but feeling heady and brain really wasn't focussed on the job.
Right knee sore after yesterday's run and not right today.

Had a walk up at Forvie with J and E, round the coast then collecting controls 10-18 from Night O on the way back. Found them all, but 5 of the 9 were at least 50m from the correct location.

Lap of Learney Hill on back roads with J. Mostly ice and traffic free. Felt rough up first hill, but better after settling into a steady pace. Think I might be going down with a cold though.

Travelling home.
Some serious detoxing required over the next week or two. Far too much good vino, coffee and cuisine. Not sure I could survive more than one week of a Dunn clan gathering.

Very muddy cycle with youngsters on the cycle track from Lago di Chiusi. Track was completely flooded in one direction and a complete clay mudbath in the other. E was not impressed.

Full traverse of Monte Cetona in the late afternoon with J. Got to the top just as the sun was setting. Magical distant views to snowy tops of the Appenines. Wasted a bit of time coming off the hill where the track had disappeared under felling and undergrowth. Ran back to the village and home by the tombs with headtorches.
Good end to the holiday.

Lovely bright day at last. All headed over in the Monte Amiata direction to check out hot springs (not very) and picnic. Had a short walk after lunch with J in the snow up a minor peak. Very pretty but few views beyond the forest.
Couldn't be bothered to run later.
