Luss Lollipop recce

New race next week, went for a run round the route, I have run most of it in my training runs in the Luss Hills except for the drop into Glen Mollochan and the climb up Southern flank of Beinn Dubh. Runnable climb up Beinn Dubh and round to Mid Hill, rough tussocky descent into Glen Mollochan. Sting in the tail is the 1000' climb back to the top of Beinn Dubh in half a mile, varies between steep and hands and knees steep, mercifully it's only half a mile then a nice grassy run  down to finish at the bottom of Glen Luss inside 2 hrs 15.
