Arrochar Sun 18th March

Continuing arctic mountain weather meant another low level trail run. Took the forest trail from Succoth through a wind tunnel called Glen Croe then on up the old crumbling Rest & B Thankful road. Apparently the vintage cars drove up here last week. At the top a left turn towards Lochgoilhead for a couple of hundred yards then a left turn down the undulating forest track to Ardgarten. From Ardgarten went up the newish trail at the end of the car park back up towards the Cobbler & Narnain and then picked up the outward trail for the last mile or so. About 14 miles & 2700' of ascent in just over 2 1/2 hours. Good run apart from the 3/4 of a mile on the road through windy Glen Croe. Big variation in the weather one minute bathed in sunshine the next straight into the teeth of a snowstorm. A few pix in the Galleria.
