Over to gate above DAP the long way via DW and W-Rs, then back after hill session.

10 x 1'+1' hills with jog part way back after each, then return to gate after no 6. Didn't feel great, but better than doing a plod. Knee ok.

Got v lazy about this recently. Better for it.

With J from home, DW to B'end over the hill to Lumph bowl, xrds and back by the military rd, fields and woods. Knee still sore so being a bit cautious, but felt pretty ok on the bike.

Hanging a few kites. Right knee still sore after yesterday's run. Otherwise not feeling too bad.

Control hanging.

Long run from Aultgowrie. Up the River Orrin to the reservoir, then followed the track south round the next spur and back along the side of the hill above Gleann Goibhre. Tarmac most of the way up to the dam, but into a headwind with some nasty squalls including hail. Tights, long-sleeve top, waterproof and hat, but still on the edge and stopped behind a building on the dam to get the gloves out too. Improved after that and eventually dried out and warmed up. Long stretch of rough single track and then equally squelchy land-rover track on the return was harder work than anticipated.
Character building.

More lovely spring forest, flowers, juniper and cuckoos.
Collecting controls.

And yet more. Short-cropped grass, hare, deer, birds, flowers and a carpet of rowan seedlings. More control collecting.

Control hanging and collecting at Craig Leach.

Achtemarack. Gorgeous, despite a bit of recent forest working. One of my favourite areas.

Easy trot out on Achilty to see what the terrain looked like. Still some tough heather. Not feeling too battered from the w/e.
