Balmaha to Rowardennan Sat 12th April

Balmaha to Rowardennan & back, returned to this route after 11 weeks for what is now a short run! Quicker run too, down to 3 hrs 25 from just over 4 hours. Better weather makes a difference as well with a snow capped Ben Lomond gleaming in the sun.

Steady jog / walk now becoming routine and just want to get it over with, however musn't rush the last couple of weeks so plod it out taking note of the 2 main hills on this section.

Camp Sites and car parks busier now with a marked increase in litter. The car parks and surrounding areas are being used by tents and caravans and human waste peeks out from behind the trees, delightful.

Just under 1:40 to Rowardennan and stop for something to eat and a drink. To maximise the recovery make an effort on the way back to walk ALL the hills which takes about 10 mins longer.

Pleasant run apart from the abundant debris - please take it home.
