Inspired by @EsTresidder to add some height to my daily exercise today.

Volunteer at the Cort-ma-law hill race - it’ll be fun they said!
It was fun guessing if runners were approaching and who - surprised only 3 runners got lost (and found)
Lochaber today.

Someone asking about the Kahtoola crampons the other day reminded me of this piece I wrote a few years back about my experiences with Microspikes. Brought back some fond memories of times in the Scottish winter hills. (PS the Kahtoola KTS mentioned has been rebranded as the hiking crampons, AFAICT)

As high up the hill as I could get in my lunch hour.
On exceptional days you can see all the way to Jura and Islay.

12/02/23 – Sunday – Bus Journal
11:19. Sat on the 201-bus rattling towards Banchory for more loops of Scolty Tower. The minimum number of laps for today is two. The maximum is four. I have the time today to run and tomorrow to rest, so there are few real constraints beyond the litre of water and the stash of gels that I’ve brought. Tomorrow is a surprise day off from work

I’d like to get back into #HillRunning this year, the last few years have been very lean due to a recurring injury I picked up in 2017 (but it was worth it, https://aye.tf/2017/06/12/eagle-rock-and-ben-more-assynt/). Some unfinished business there … at some point before I get too decrepit I’d like to run the #TrantersRound, and the #CapeWrathTrail unsupported, for that’s the purest form of the game. The former is realistic, the latter perhaps not, but what’s the point of aspiration if the goal is clearly obtainable?

Went to have a look at https://gofar997.wixsite.com/gofar/traverse-of-assynt to see how the 23:54 FKT I set on the #AssyntTraverse in 2016 is holding up. I see it stood until 2021 (Tom Cowie, Ross Pape, 18:15), and then last year James Gibson took it down to 17:10 unsupported, that’s in the ballpark I expected a proper hill runner could be expected to finish. Personally, the Traverse was the single most fulling day I have had in the hills, my account is at https://aye.tf/2016/07/17/the-assynt-traverse-blow-by-blow-account/.

A day off work this close to Christmas? Go shopping? I don't think so.
Not when there's an enormous burning fireball in the sky and crystals of water on the ground.

Any LAC or other club runners looking for picture of a particular runner, please just ask.
A sample:
Very pleasant, if breezy day on Beinn Bhan marshalling the turn for the #LochaberAthleticClub hill race.
Great field of 67 runners braved the bogs and heather.
