Along to dun Mòr with iris. Windy but still warm enough for taps aff

Up to see granny and grandad for lunch so nipped up cruachan with mum. Beautiful morning up there, took some overnight oats for the summit

Barr na hiolaire after a day working at a friends with Jura and iris. Pretty cloudy up there which was a nice change, bracken has shot up even more though. Been struggling with blisters recently think the roclites are pretty worn out. They’ve done 120hrs and 1000+km not sure if that’s a lot. Changed to these s labs and felt better thpugh

Class day out to stob odhar 562m with Alfie. Got a nice quad bike track up for the whole climb, then on a nice grassy ridge along to the trig point. Class views west towards Jura, not so class views north to a wind farm about 500m away. Pretty gutted there’s no further easing on heading to the mountains, feels like a bit of a joke. I go to Oban every week to do the shopping which is 50 miles away! Ah we’ll have to keep reminding myself I’m lucky to be stuck here in such an amazing place

C • shopping and running 3

Barr na hiolaire midday run. Had rained the whole morning but got out in the sun, so the grass and flowers smelled amazing. Sound of jura was glassy calm, the whole run was just waiting to see some dolphins or something in the distance. Felt nice and fresh after a rest day
