Running 4:31:47 [3] 27.94 km (9:44 / km) +1680m 7:29 / km
4 Munros, Ben Macdui, Derry Cairngorm, Beinn Mheadoin and Cairn Gorm.
In the clag already from the car park from about 550m but quite easy going on the good path all the way up Ben Macdui. Took a slightly wrong line descending but terrain was all nice so easy to correct. Derry Cairngorm was much more rocky and a line straight over the top was best rather than my suggestion of slightly left... Unexpectedly found some people fixing the path going up Beinn Mheadoin, which is big walk-in from anywhere. Some cool tors on the plateau before quite a technical descent back to the shelter stone and a steep climb up to Cairn Gorm. Was starting to feel a bit tired into the last hour but have done quite a lot in the last few weeks.
Food:
Just before Ben Macdui - Nature Valley Peanut and Chocolate (very dry and hard when cold)
Ben Macdui Top - Orange & Kit Kat (Fiddly to get out of packet)
After Derry Cairngorm - Flapjack (Homemade was better)
Beinn Mheadoin - Orange & Kit Kat
Shelter Stone - Gel 1
Cairn Gorm - Gel 2
