Deeside Way west (lots of newly washed out bits from the recent rains...), post box, then riverbank and up DW east. Feeling OK but struggling on hill.

rest day - drive home from An Gearasdan and then some berry picking in afternoon in the sun.

Drove E to Day 5 and had planned to run up Creag Dubh, but pissing rain when I got there so stayed in van instead.

C • At least 3

On west side of Loch Linnhe - short loop up Glen Cona - too much tarmac, but then some lovely riverbank path and woodland. Crossed the river at a superb set of falls/rapids. not much water around today! Hugt shingle bars in the river - must be quite exciting when in spate!

Sgurr na h-Ulaidh from Glen Coe with S & RB. Fairly grim slog out valley floor, too fast start as usual for me but OK once on main climb.
Back via ridge and another wee top. Felt good on descent - legs strong and even managed to run flat at end.

More Arisaig, control waking and checking the morning controls.
Drizzly and midday first thin g but dried up fairly well and sun by end of day.

Checking controls for Arisaig 6-Day . Superb weather, sun and views to die for :-)
Long time on feet and two trips up hill for checking.
