Since I finished Offa's Dyke/Glyndwr Way I haven't really felt like doing much. Normally after my June walks I head for the hills and up my Corbett and Munro count but this year I seem happy to mhead for Dunkeld and just settle for a bit of exercise and it was the same again this morning.

I left the car park at 6:10am and it was a really nice morning for walking. I made good speed to Mill Dam (34:04) and Raor Lodge (56:20) but must have lost a bit of pace in the last section arriving at the far end of Loch Ordie in 1hr 30 mins. A couple of weeks ago I would have been delighted with that time but lately I've been in the 1hr 20's so I was a little bit disappointed but an average pace of 3.9mph on the uphill half of the walk is still good going.

My pace felt good on the way back but I was surprised to do 1hr 24 mins on the way back as I was just hoping to get under an hour and a half so an overall time of 2hrs 54 mins at an average speed of 4mph was really pleasing.
