Back to Dunkeld today as the weather seems promising and it's 3 days since I was in Glen Esk.

The start of the main track from CCP is a bit rougher than normal as thereis a digger working on it.

Nobody about at 9am so apart from the digger driver I have the place to myself.

Still a bit muddy on the last part of the track to reach Loch Ordie and still really bad alongside the loch but probably a bit less squelchy than 10 days ago.

Continued on beyond Loch O for the best part of a mile to a bridge on the track to Ballinluig before stopping for a chocolate break.

Earpieces in and another listen to the latest Tangerine dream album for the return leg.

Close to going to short sleeves today but the clouds arrived and the wind picked up at the laf way point, maybe next week.

Only 13 miles today but the legs are still feeling tired so I'm a bit away from doing even my 16 mile route at Dunkie.
