Arrochar Sun 16th Nov

MWIS true to form again, clear blue sky and no wind for a planned 17 mile run round Glen Loin taking in the Sloy Dam followed by an out & back to Ardgarten, about 3500' of ascent.

Jog up Glen Loin towards Coriegrogan takes in a series of hills, walk the hills for an easy run or run them for something a bit tougher. Ran all the hills, hard but enjoyable as I have had no consistent long runs for a few months.

Ran up to Sloy Dam & back to Corriegrogan for 2 1/2 extra miles.



Continued on round Glen Loin taking in 2 more hills, one longer & one steeper, managed to run both.

From the disappearing river its 3 or 4 miles back to Succouth, down hill all the way, took it easy mindful of the extra 5 or so miles to follow. Took the lower path to Ardgarten then ran up the road for 1/2 a mile or so to pick up the upper path back to Succouth, good finishing hill which climbs further at every corner taking you about 500' in 1 1/2 miles, managed to run all the way, nice seat at the top for views down Loch Long.

Short run back along forrest tracks to Succouth to finish in 4:17 and lunch in the Tarbet Cafe.
