Luss Hills Sun 31st May

Blazing sun and blue skies contrast to last weeks low cloud and rain, for a change common sense prevailed after last weeks 5 hour run an easier run closer to home.

Glen Luss horseshoe, ACW, 9 miles and 3500' of ascent. The long 2000' slog up Beinn Dubh to start. Mountain views all around.



Ran along the ridge past the unnamed top, the Arrochar Alps close enough to touch.



A 180 degree turn down mid hill. Felt like swimming down Glen Luss crossing Luss water after the Mid Hill descent but managed to cross the river and set off up the 1000' climb up Coille-eughain Hill, threw in a few hill reps on the way up, run, gasp, rest, run, gasp, rest, driven by the promise of a cool breeze and great views of Loch Lomond at the top.



Ran back to the foot of the Glen via the Paps, finished just under 2 hrs 50. Not much water on the route, drank twice as much as last week in half the time. A few more pics in the Galleria.
