I've been buzzing all week because on Monday I ran up my first Monro (Scottish hills over 3000ft/914metres) for more than 15 years!
I was happily ticking them off, 3-7 hour days running in the hills, when my body pretty much fell apart, feet, ankles, back all knackered, maybe arthritis maybe not. Long rehab, most recently with achilles problems, so it was unbelievably fantastic to be out.
Not a biggie, Meall Cluaich, above Dalwhinnie, out and back 3km on Hydro Board track then steady up hill. Snow for top 300m vertical, new powder on old granular snow, quite gentle angles so no danger of avalanche or sliding over the edge! Unfortuantley clag at the top stopped any views
Brilliant!
