Looks like there's some housekeeping to be done around here after my week in Scotland. Managed to do something every day sticking to a plan of low distance and low effort, but i wasn't without knee soreness on the evenings.
Monday's Run- Beinn An Achaidh Mhoir, 1.7m/450' small lump just accross from the house, it had a trig on it so it had to be bagged...obviously!
Tuesday- We were in Inverie and i was cold so i went for a yomp up something i'd seen from the boat, it turned out to be Sgurr Choire Chonnichean 2.5m/2300'. I got to within sight of the small summit butress, but there was an Arete in the way, the sides of which were 60 degree certain death drops onto boulder fields. I was in jeans and trainers with my arms full of clothing i'd shed on the way up, so i refused it and headed back down. Bit of a shame really, but i'd pretty much just wandered off and nobody knew where i was at the time.
Wednesday- A supposedly easy jog that turned into an epic bog bash. Could've done without it, but i did get to visit the campsite we went to when we were kids.
Thursday's run- Sgurr Bhuidhe 3.8m/1600' North Morar range, absolutely stunning country and very runnable.

Looking back up the descent route. It looks like a walk in the park, but there's so much to catch you out and you could very easily have an accident. Way tougher than the Howgills dispite looking very similar.
