Easier run planned for today and went to do the Glen Finlas horseshoe. Starting up Creachan Hill and going anti clockwise via Beinn Ruisg, Creag an Leinibh, unamed top 2275' (=693M, using a map 30+ years old), Balcnock, Craperoch with Shantron Muir to finish. About 10 miles and 2900' of ascent.
Managed to avoid the electric fences on the way up Creachan and soon on top running through the huge peat hags which cover these hills. The route undulates all the way round and there are plenty of paths and sheep tracks to follow, not always the most direct route but they make for easier running than the tussocky ground.
Visibility ok apart from a general misty haze which meant only the outline of the surrounding hills could be seen but no real detail, no problem with navigation this time. Finished easy in 2 1/ hours.
