Must be about a week of dry, spring weather we’ve had now, and those hill tracks and paths below the retreating snowline all seem to be in just about optimum running condition. So tonight I headed up to Loch Eilde Mor via the Grey Mare’s, then over Meall na Cruaidhe to the Dam and back by the Ciaran Path to give me a very runnable 11.9 mile circuit with great views all round but especially towards the Grey Corries (still holding fair quantities of snow), two Buachailles and more distant Schiehallion. Also noted that I was feeling strong after a rest day followed by two evenings mountain biking, so won’t hesitate to mix some more cycling into the ‘programme’ when I’m needing a change or simply feel like some fun. :-)
