I had intended to attempt to see how fast I could do the round trip from above the first hairpin bend - time to beat 2 hours. So I started off at 16:20 and got to the summit at 17:05 - 45 minutes. However, I started faffing about on the return with taking photos - even though the haze was terrible. Then I stepped up to my calf in a bog so tried to clean the muck off at the little burn etc etc and I ended up taking two hours again! Great wee leg stretcher though. I will never tire of this hill.
