Keiloch car park to Linn of Quoich via Glen Slugan. A bit of a grind but managed to run most of it - though not much of the heather between tracks over the watershed. River Quoich looking mighty impressive at the Linn - funnelling down the gorge.

home - Kinker - Castle drive =- North Footie - west track - mansion house - Dess Woods - home.
A bit damp from start to finish :-)
Kept pace fairly quick (for me), right knee complaining by end but nothing too bad.

Guess at time - helping out on RC and SW with their London marathon alternative. From Glen Muick car park to Lochanagar and back - lots of walking ('cos they had just run from Ballogie) and back down (cos it wasn't necessary to run!).
Lovely day - mostly sunny but strong cold wind on plateau.
Felt fine on bits that I ran.
Moving for probably 2-30 total.

C • Grateful thanks! 2

Rest day with just a wee walk at Cambus looking for the elusive control 128. Still no sign - but in better light I could see trod to the foot of the spur but no control. It was within sight of a path and I reckon a walker has removed it...
Lovely afternoon - even if a bit damp underfoot.

Collecting controls in Cambus, wet, dusk, cloudy, so not a lot of fast running... :-)
Still, pleasant enough and made sure I took routes through the nicest bits of the forest. One control was, A already collected, B missing, C in wrong place (not sure which yet!)

C • Not 1

More map checking, lots of walking, not much drawing!

Deeside Runners session. Supposed to be 10 mins tempo, 5x1 hills and 1§0 mins tempo. However the group decided a 2 minute warm-up was adequate and the til uses for hills was different to one thought, aso turned up late there!
Classic DR shambles :-)
Anyway, not going great and wheezing quite a bit so not too much missed!

Felt good

Checking bits of Banchory map - lots of amendments!
