Hike in from Glen Affric cp to day's start point carrying day-sack plus pop-up tent, doing a good impression of a turtle. Hard enough work to be worth logging.

Shadowing AG round the "Greens" then picking up the "Meat" controls. Tough going underfoot, but gorgeous terrain. Worth the effort to get in here. Good attitude in the squad.

Back to the cp on the MTB. A lot less effort, but not so easy on Js bike - saddle stuck and I could barely reach the pedals.

C • Saddle 1

Maroc Glen Affric camp. Control hanging for night O at Plodda, then some collecting in after. Plus some other running around. Estimated time. Feeling pretty sluggish.

Easy leg loosener round the woods and out to the fields. Not feeling very bouncy but good to get some fresh air.

Hanging and collecting a few markers in the school grounds. Last session until spring. Dark and cold collecting them back in.

Long way to the start and back, then retrieved a few reflectors off the road for the w/e.

DNC # 2 Cheyne Hill. Grim. And the map is S**T too. Enjoyed a few bits in the middle when I just sat on my compass, but things went wrong when I tried to use the map. Only ran here once before, many years ago when the N arrows were pointing S on the map. So I guess in that sense it's improved, but don't think I'll be rushing back.

C • ...hmm not just me then 4

Busy

Collecting controls at Cambus. Perhaps not what I'd have chosen for my Mon recovery session, but was fine once I got going. Nicer morning but still cold and undergrowth still v wet.

Then along the road to get in the control pick bit of Sat loop. Seemed trickier going in the wrong direction.
