Back to Glen Luss, planned a similar route to last week but in very different weather conditions. Last week was sun and snow this week overcast, gales and some stinging horizontal rain.
Very Cross Wind on the way up Beinn Dubh made for a slow plod, you could lean at about 45 degrees without falling over. Once at the top and turning into the wind it was like trying to run up a very steep hill, impossible to run more than 50 yards without stopping to catch your breath.
Run along towards top 657 uneventful apart from the gusting wind and rain blasting your face, once in line with the gully between Beinn Dubh & Mid Hill which leads back down to Glen Luss we decided not to risk going along the ridge & to cut down the gully instead. Pretty steep and slippy but zig zagged along avoiding the steepest parts.
Finished up with the usual gentle jog back down Glenn Luss, no pesky mutt to annoy us this time. Shorter than usual Sunday run about 6 miles and just over 2000'.
