A tough race in tough terrain, climbing the summit of Stuc A Chroin at 975 m height.
The race starts easy enough along forest tracks with a steady climb before a climbing a grassy hill and descending to Glen Ample. Then the tough bit starts with a sheer climb to Beinn Each and then rough terrain like that pictured through to the summit of Stuc. Nice weather and great marshalling make this a painful but pleasant race.
Time was slow as expected given lack of form at 4 hrs and around 2 mins. I was around 30 mins faster 2 years ago ! Still, pleased that I was still jogging at the end after 4 hours.
