Weekend began with a 9 mile Friday afternoon run through Renton to Dalmoak onto the Kipperoch track to Cardross, back to the Vale via Carman, just about 9 miles and 1000 foa. Sitting back for a quiet Friday night then a surprise invitation to the Vale Masonic for a foot stomping night of Rock with among others Littlehed & the Halos . A good night with a few beers and a Bar51 invasion after.
Saturday brought a first, the Clydesdale 5k, 2 laps round the Clydebank Industrial Park then along to the usual loop to pick up the cycle path back towards the shopping centre, your finished before you know it, but good to run a shorter race for a change, finished in about 21 1/2 mins, picked up the pace to easily outsprint a 60+ year old so probably could have pushed it a wee bit faster, but not much.
Sunday's weather forecast wasn't good..turned out fine, dry, breezy with cloud base mostly above the tops but some down towards 2500'.
Drove to Arrochar for 3000' in 2 1/2 miles of straight up Ben Narnain, a quick drop down to Bealach a' Mhaim then 1000' plus trot up the back of the Cobbler. First time up the Cobbler for 30 odd years, hasn't changed much apart from the new erosion proofing man made steps, ok going up but a bit picky going down. Came off the Cobbler onto the path in 2:45, picked up the pace through the glen to finish in just over 3 hours.
A few snow patches to negotiate along the way with the usual diffcult gully through the Spearhead, some good views under the clouds, a few pics in the Galleria.
