WHW

Poor weather forecast and went for a trail run from Garadhban to Balmaha and back, follwoing the WHW over Conics shoulder. Started just after 8, not many out at that time, over Conic and down into Balmaha, a few more people out on the WHW now. Turned back and took in 3 of Conics summits running down the back re-joining the WHW about half way down. Started snowing for a while on the way back, passed some more walkers and a few runners, finished the 10 plus miles inside 3 hours.

Conic Hill

Out and back from Garadhban to the top of Conic. Ran along the West Highland Way past loads of walkers. Up onto the top of Conic busy place, great views.

Ran along the top of Conic dropping down the ridge to rejoin the outward track. Steady run back finising under 2 hours. More pictures here.

Undulating Trails

Well into Sunday before I could get a run in, set off for Ben Lomond, a bit breezy at Rowardennan and a change of plan, a run along to Inversnaid and back, last time I ran this was in 2008, first half forest road then the trail twists through trees along to Inversnaid. A lot of water about and not a lot of views or other walkers/runners, I think I only passed two rangers and four walkers today. Showers on the way out, a bit wetter on the way back until the rain went off for the last half mile. Ran inside 3 hours for the 14 miles, 3000' of ascent, a few pictures here.
