Sunday run in the hills

Margot is doing a 13 mile off-road charity run in a month, so we though a training run on Sunday was a good idea. We started near the car park by the Sheildaig Hotel and ran down the stalkers path to the the second loch (Loch Gaineamhach) then up to the top of a small hill (Creag Bhreac) 441m. We returned the same way and had sunshine and showers, just over 11 miles, too rough to run all the way, but more time to enjoy the views.

Picture are of

Margot striding uphill.

The rewarding views deep into the local mountains

The Highland Cattle at the start

Jamilla returns to Flowerdale

Jimjams improved enough to tackle the lower walks of Flowerdale which is looking lush from the sun & rain. She even managed a swim against the current in one of the swollen streams!

Lovely to see old friends from Southport.
