Water weekend of running

New ground today, started at the back of Duntocher and ran a lollipop route up to Jaw reservoir, along past Cochno loch to Cochno Hill, past Greenside reservoir to the Slacks, past loch Humphrey to Duncolm,



From Duncolm we ran along towards then round Kilmannan reservoir, a wander through forestry eventually popping out behind Black Loch, round Black Loch and Jaw reservoir for the run back down to Duntocher. About 12 miles and 2000' of undulations, a mixture of nice grassy paths, forest roads and some boggy stuff. All runnable apart from some forestry bits where we had to clamber through fallen trees, newly cut stumps and ditches. Low cloud most of the way so only hints that the views are worth catching. Finished in just over three hours including a detour to the Three Graves. Some pictures here. Easy Sunday run, took the trail behind Carman reservoir and up through the Quarry to the Fort, race route back to the house, 5 miles and 1000'.
