A bit of an epic.

Got dropped off at the start of the Gleneagles track, ran up Gleneagles, Frandy Burn, Glensherrup reservoir, lunch field, back through Glenquey.

Incredibly wet, everything was sopping and ankle-deep (or deeper) in places.
Couldn't cross Frandy burn at path - had to go 1 k up stream almost to the 2nd tributary before finding a safe place to cross. Luckily there was a pipe with a flat walkway across that I could use, although I reckon I'd have been OK a couple of 100m further up above the 2nd trib.

Maiden's Well path was the 2nd wettest I've ever seen it.

Out for 2 hours 40, but lots of stops.

6 * intervals Tilli to Alva. Stong West wind, although not as strong as the East wind was two weeks ago.

All 1.68k. Mainly from an almost standing start. Retching at the end of the W ones, so definitely trying hard enough, despite slowish speeds on them.

1. W 7'46 4'37 m/k
2. E 7'19 4'20 m/k
3. W 8'00 4'46 m/k
