Rest day - at Tentsmuir junior event checking Scottish results for junior selections. Much fun had by many today :-)

Control collecting at Glen Feardar for YH juniors. Lovely day - start was up on open area, so spectacular views all round and the forest was as glorious and runnable as ever.

Clachnaben out via tourist track and back over Mt Shade. Started very steadily and ground it out till past woods, then had to walk sections to summit. Same on Mt Shade, but enjoyed run off Shade the the east.
Then picked blaeberries - amazing quantity, about 3.5 litres in about 20 mins...

DW east then down to A93 at bend, riverbank and back via DW west, long way up past waterfall. He'd planned to go to Kinker and riverbank from there but nor feeling great at start so cut shot. Improved as run went on.

Mapping Arbroath HS - great grounds with plenty if woods :-), unfortunately not too much contour detail.
Hot and sunny by end after a misty start.

Carrying logs up to wood store, 30 mins.

Aboyne, Bellwood, riverbank, home. Nice one-way run and managed to convince myself to do some intervals set off to do 6x2+1 and ended up with 8. Pleased with how they went, left glute didn't seem to want to work properly on first couple but got into it and moving OK by end.
Hot and humid, absolutely drenched by end. Had to go straight to a cold shower to stop the sweating!

Nice round 60 mins by time grovelled up Deeside Way to home :-)

Mathwork for an easy start. Felt good.

Academy Run Club, 15 kids out, steady run through castle grounds, golf course and back via Casetle drive and woods. Some decent pace bits but group well strung out. Hot and humid again, sun out at start, yet still some persist in wearing sweatshirts!
