N of Torphins over hill to Devils Den (on old rail line east of Lumphanan), then up through forest to grazing fields and back to Dess woods.

from gliding strip to Cambus bridge with Sarah and Ewan on tag-along. Pushing hard for several sections, really enjoyed route, only down-side it was pretty chilly with a cold wind.

15x1+1 on Fungle, feeling pretty good and pushing well. Best I've felt at intervals for quite a while, good to get a top session in.

With Sarah, Fungle to mobile phone mast on Glen Tanar, across Fungle burn, small paths to kennels track, then back across lower slope to cistern track, along road to car.

Tentsmuir jogging round with Phil checking a few control sites and trying to solve the last minute problems. Out for 4 hours in total of which about 50 mins jogging and 30 slightly faster pace return round coastal path.

With Sarah down to river, along bank to bridge island, up past new monster mansion and back along road. Feeling reasonable - better than yesterday, but still a bit tired.

checking Scottish Champs area. What a fantastic area - my favourite type of wood, birch with juniper and at the best time of year with spring flowers blooming, birch trees a lovely fresh green - and managed to finish before the rain came on! About 2.5 hours total, half running. Feeling OK at start, but got tired quickly, this gardening lark is exhausting.

digging in the garden (still at it!)
