Highlander, day 2. A tough day. Rough weather. Took the high route to #2, over a munro in the cloud with driving hail in our faces. Didn't realise it was a munro or we'd have diverted a little to the cairn to bag it! But then came endless peat bogs of dispair. Really tough going, in and out of gullies and snowdrifts. Wrenched my knee when it disappeared down a bottomless hole on an innocuous patch of snow-dusted ground. Could barely stand, but managed to get it moving again and we struggled on. Somehow held onto 9th spot.

Highlander Mountain Marathon - B class, day 1, with Jim. Around the back of Creag Meagaidh. About 29 km. Good weather and some fun running in the snow to compensate for the slogs through the peat hags. In retrospect I wish we'd gone for some higher routes. I was lovely up there. Comfortably in the top half which was our aim.
