53 4 53 Pt 1 with ME. Learney Hill. Just about light enough at 7:30 without the torches. Couple of cms snow on the tracks giving better grip than the underlying ice and nice running. Lovely start to the day.

53 4 53 Pt2 with J. Dinnet Muir and CD from Dinnet, taking in the cross slab and BoV CPs (#21,22). Lovely as always. Feet a tad sore by the end and hammie niggling a wee bit, but otherwise all good. Lovely as ever.

53 4 53 Pt 3 with RB. From her house along the river then up onto Breda Hill. Feeling ok once I got going, although hill was a bit of a struggle! More good company and chat making the kms fly by easily enough. No major aches or pains during this. Still in dobbs, but switched to a different pair.

53 4 53 Pt 4 with SR. From Aboyne out round the Loch then over into Coull and back by the TW. Stiff at the start, but felt pretty good later in the run! Decided to give the feet some more comfortable shoes and got away with it no bother - just one wee icy section on the TW. Lots of smiles.

53 4 53 Pt 5 with BS. Last but not least. From Potties up to Ordmore CP (#23) then back across to Potarch side. Endeed up doing just out and back on the big track to get the distance. Only run of the day where ice was an issue and it certainly dropped the pace wearing comfy shoes. Otherwise feeling really not bad for the end of a long run.
53.2km, ~1100m climb and ~6h run time on slightly snowy paths and tracks.
Fab day with great company :-)
