Day 5!!!! Up at 6 and at assembly by 7.30. More toilet mayhem! Even had to pull the equipment van out of a ditch. Got start running on time - just - then stood for 4 hours directing operations. Unsure whether to run but decided a late start was too good an opportunity to miss so set off at about 2.20 after supervising clear up of start. Not ideal preparation!

6 Day - Day 5 - Loch Nell & Shenavallie. A real curates egg of an area, wooded hills, bog, bracken, beach, gorse, bushes did I mention the bogs? Thought it was going to be one of those days when I found a large unmapped crag at 1 which cost 1 min. Settled down after that and ploughed round the boggy "elephant trail". Overshot reentrant at 10 and couldn't find 12 in the bracken - even with the elephant trails! Both cost ~ 1 min. 4th, 3.02 down on TT but only 1.05 on Dixie and 17s on Bilbo. Totally "pooped" by finish.
