rest day - though spent too long gardening in the sun and felt fairly crap afterwards.

With S and E Linn of Dee to Macdui via Luibeg Burn, back via Derry Cairngorm. E on bike to Derry Lodge, S and I running. Walk up hill from Luibeg burn then some running on sections after Macdui, E twisted ankle on descent so easier to Derry Lodge, hard to keep moving after this but managed. Swim in pools in Lui at end - magic spot and lovely warm water.
Skies were deep blue all day and barely a cloud anywhere. Views superb - not much haze esp early on.
Great day out - one to remember!
Pleased to still be running OK at the end without pain.

Surveying 5.5 hours, thick, scratchy... on the plus side not too hot!

C • If it's thick and scratchy ... 2

Surveying 5 hours, even hotter so more glad than ever to be in the trees.

Loch Kinord with S. Water like a warm bath :-)

6 hours surveying - hot but st least I was in forest for most part so avoided the worst of the heat.

With MD Woods west of Doune and along River Teith. Very pleasant run in nice variety of terrain - path along no Teith was specially beautiful. Going OK for most but felt last hill

7 hours surveying, nice area but steep in plscrs. Tired by end.

With MD in K*er Woods, very pleasant area. Started to tire after 30 mins

Pleasant swim in Loch Kinord with S. Choppy but water very warm. Only 22C when we got out (had reached 27 at lunchtime in Aboyne!)
