Wanderings round Finzean Woods followed by a bit of extra climb up to the top of Cordedardar.
Shame about the bracken.
Knee well on the mend.

...pine marten in the garden upon my return..shame I missed it.

C • Pine marten 2

Sauntering around Craigmore and Torquhandallochy.
Pleasant and knee on the mend.

Knee beautifully swollen today but all part of the game. It goes well with the cuts and bruises from the GR20 anyhow. Whole left leg a bit of a mess really :-)
Will try running on it tomorrow.

Many steps too far.
Wasn't going to do this but the weather persuaded me to at least go through the motions...but not sure why I chose Brown especially at the 1:15000 scale.
Was enjoying it up to 5 even though legs had nothing at all in them. Then came down heavily on a rock with left kneecap and it was game pretty much over from then on. Carried on somewhat more slowly but finally packed in with two to go with the knee tightening up and being too painful amongst the heather covered boulders.
No real damage done I hope but somewhat swollen.
Nice run out all the same. Glen Feardar as picturesque as ever.

Added up the GR20 numbers when we got back. All pretty approximate as didn't carry a gps..couldn't rely on being able to charge it.

Core GR20:
196.6 km 13500m ascent 69.9 hours

Additions (Soccia, Monte Cinto etc):
23.5km 1190m ascent 8 hours

Total:
220.1 km 14690m 77.9 hours

Spread over 12 days...including one storm bound day.

Decided on another rest day...not motivated!

With k, out and back on the Birkenhill road. Pretty quick (for me) leg turnover.
