Vanlife in Kinlochleven & Loch Cluanie
No running in this film due to having to rest a hamstring injury, but this is more focussed on the challenges of working vanlife in general. I stay a few days in the Ice Factor carpark in Kinlochleven and then a couple of days at the Lundie carpark near Glenshiel on the way to Skye. Midgies, hydroelectricity generating plants, a tiny bit of the West Highland Way and some strange piles of stones on the edges of Loch Cluanie!

The Glencoe telecoms mast run

A quick run up to the Glencoe telecoms mast after work from the CCC camp site. Having another look at the Ballachulish Horseshoe from the viewpoint here and then some random ramblings about what I plan in the forthcoming weeks and months.
How happy did the Ballachulish Horseshoe run make me?
Переглядів 747 місяців тому
Running the Ballachulish Horsheshoe (run 6 in the brilliant 'Running Adventures in Scotland' guidebook by Ross Branigan) starting with the Schoolhouse Ridge on a beautiful sunny day after several days of heavy rain. Wondering what all the shouting was about below Sgorr Dhonuill and completely blowing the legs on the road section to finish. Really quite an epic route!

A run/fast hike up and run down the amazing Stob Dearg in Glencoe, exploiting a narrow weather window. Also a bit of a rant about how busy Glencoe gets in Summer and how I narrowly avoided a head-on collision in the van on the main road...

Ending up driving the whole island looking for a free camping spot and waiting for a weather window to ascend Goatfell. Bits falling off the van and indicators failing, I end up back where I started but optimistic for a sunny following day!
