Ime and Narnain

Late run today, sunscreen on which made sure the good weather broke and it rained, at least it was warm rain! Glen Loin trail to the dissapearing river then through the glen to Lag Uaine and a climb up beside the gnarly ridge onto the Eastern end of Ime's summit ridge. A quick down and up Narnain's NW ridge, as low cloud streamed in from the West and some heavier warm rain, finished with a run off through the Spearhead and back to Succoth in just over 4 hours for the 12 miles and 5000' of ascent.

Luss, hiding again

Cloud down again today, set off for a 12 mile 5000' run over Beinn Dubh, Mid Hill, Doune Hill, Beinn Lochain and Beinn Eich.Added a mile or so zig zagging about looking for the paths coming off Mid Hill and Doune Hill in the pea souper with visibility down to 20 or 30 yards in places, compass out running off Doune Hill gave me the confidence to keep going on unfamiliar ground until eventually finding the trail going up Beinn Lochain. Finished in a slower than usual 4 hours 20. Sunday's Stoneymollan recovery run round the reservoir through the quarry with an out and back to the trig point.

Was it Luss?

Glorious weather all week then Saturday forecast came true, low cloud and rain, set off from the top of the glen road, Beinn Eich climb first, after that it was too claggy for my navigation skills to run the planned trackless route back round the Glen Finlas tops so along to Doune Hill it was, difficult picking out the narrow trods in the mist. Run off Doune Hill fun, slowly down to the Beallach with top 701 then slow descent into a tussocky Sith Mor, unable to pick a good line in the clag, too close to the burns and fern filled gulleys. Up Mid Hill back into the mist before a short run down to the road. 8 miles with 4000' of ascent in 3 hours 20. Sunday brought brighter weather for a run up Ben Bowie.
