Wow! Oww, that one hurt. This was the biggest height gain of the year so far and I only had intermittent views until just before I finished. It was warm for most of the day, but very wet underfoot and with continual low cloud, but no rain. The final two or three hills were really hard work as I began to tire and I had to slow to a crawl to finish them. Good training for my Skye trip though and I feel the fitness beginning to return.
