1st outing since completing my long distance walk last weekend.

Absolutely stunning early morning, not a cloud in the sky but definitely cooler than the day before.

Back to the approach shoes on what is a good and dry track (but not as good as it used to be now that all the stones are on the track to fill pot holes and even things out).

Wasn't sure what my pace would be like and in truth it was fairly poor but it was just great to be out.

Stopped at the bridge at the far end of Loch Ordie for longer than normal (10 mins instead of the usual 5).

On the way back at around 9am it suddenly clouded over, never a threat of rain but very much cooler than on the way to Loch O.

Saw about half a dozen mountain bikers but no walkers out this morning.
