Dollar

Didn't fancy this, forecast poor, wet n windy, yes it was a poor forecast as it turned out sunny for most of the run. Start and finish beside the cricket pavilion at Dollar Academy a 10 mile loop covering 3200 feet of ascent over rolling grassy Ochils in the sun. Over 100 set off up through Dollar Glen for the climb up Saddle and Whitewisp Hills, about 2000' in 2 1/2 miles, the crocodile extending out in front.

Once up on top its good running over Tarmangie and Skythorn Hills to the turning point round Andrew Gammels summit to a shorter than it looks drop down and over Kings Seat Hill back towards Dollar, the minor blip of Bank Hill is the last up with a steep grassy drop into Dollar Glen where I stopped to check out a runner who had taken a tumble, a bit dazed, he had someone with him and help was on its way. A few minutes later I was through the glen and running back towards Dollar Academy to showers, tea and cakes. Finished in 2 hours and a few minutes. Pictures here.
