Sol Short Brown at Faskally.
Some learning points:
1. Think about the map scale from the start - hadn't adjusted to it by the time I went in to no 1
2. Hold back that little bit on the first leg
3. If the control code doesn't match what's in your head, re-check the map before running off in a panic (no 11)
Some positive things:
1. Felt ok running despite efforts of the last couple of days
2. Foot held up fine. Not committing to some of the rougher bits, but that's ok.
3. Well on top of the navigation for most of the time, and reading descriptions etc.

With E, along DW to Boddomend, road over hill to Lumph bowl and Lumph crossroads, peel ring then back over military rd, Bullevard, fields and woods. In a grump with each other when we set off, but a really nice ride in the end.

Long afternoon in the garden. Back's going to know about it.

Whole body aching!

Needed to go somewhere different for a bit of inspiration this morning, so headed up to Balmoral to do a bit of cairn bagging. From Easter Balmoral: Helena, failed to find Louise, Purchase, Leopold, Louise (after consulting map on the paths), Arthur, Alice (after re-locating from a navo booboo), Princess Royal, Connachat Memorial, Ripe Hill summit, Albert and Beatrice. Bit of fun and it gave a good mix of track, path and terrain. Out for just over 3h, but a fair bit of faffing and photos during the run.
Turned out I headed in the right direction, as was pretty much dry there but had been v wet at home.

Feeling a bit flat and CBA with Cambus or anything else - so no harm in the day off.

Recovery run round H'head - first in a good while. Legs tired but enjoyable and good to get away from the desk. Needs to happen more often.

DR back in Glen T. 13 x 1' + 1' up the diagonal track. Didn't completely kill myself, seeing it was the first one in a while.
Good crowd taking part, including a few new faces to me.

To start of hill then back down by the big track and back along the river bank path.
