Glen Striddle Horseshoe

Friday afternoon run this week , drove to Luss a bit later than hoped, headtorch in the bag just in case. Up Beinn Dubh to start, ran the first half, walked and jogged the second half into a cold north wind, ground getting back to its boggy best, should have had my waterproof socks on!! Jacket , hat and gloves on just after half way. Past the summit cairn jogging into a now strong cold wind. Didn't heat up until round Mid hill and going down towards the Glen, stopped about a mile short of the glen and turned back up Mid Hill and along to Beinn Dubh, warmer now, the wind at my back helping keep a better pace. On the way back up to Beinn Dubh's summit cairn light noticeably fading, turned the head torch on for the last mile or so finishing in the pitch black.
