Queens Loch car park, out to Balfour on road then up new track to top and right to Carn Ferg, straight down to Jungle and down to loch side track. Some trees down in Balfour but nothing serious. Pleasant day out, windy on top so didn't linger long. Really enjoyed run down to the Guard - small path, gently downhill and lovely pine woods :-)

Hoped to check out parts of Fetteresso after dropping E at Laurencekirk, but a wall of windblown greeted me at hte car park, so drove round Swanley road to Slug and ended up at Potties, did a half lap - nice and chilled pace.

With S from Baddidarach to Achmelvich, quick (very) dip in the ocean and back. Water not to cold but heavy swell and seemed very salty!
Feeling a bit tired and struggled on hills (S did too, so not to badly dropped!)
Superb scenery - all lumps and bumps and rock :-))) A great playground to have fun in.

Up Ghlas Bheinn with S, past Lochan a Choire Ghorm. Parked near Quinag car park and dropped to Loch then picked up Eas a Chuil Allain path then off to right to the Lochan and past it to plateau. Cold wind at start and on top but great views of snow capped peaks all round and coastline with patches of sunlight. Steep descent but picked up wee walkers path on steepest bit.
Saw an eagle near the summit - soared up from the northern Corrie, wings outstretched with barely a twitch in them for a couple of minutes.
Great little trip out from new place at Lochinver :-))

Deeside Way west, down to post box then along river and back via DWeast. Feeling pretty washed out but plodded away.

Busy day in Edinburgh working, no chance during day and food too tempting once home.

Good session with weighted balls...

Academy run-club, to Green, some sprints and man-hunt then back. No need for head-torches :-)
