Slewdrum and Blackhall Forests with K9 Steve McQueen

I first ran this circuit around a month ago in the aftermath of the London Marathon when I felt that I struggled a little with the ascent a little.  The weather was calm and still this morning, so I set off with Steve McQueen for a wee run.  Although the pace was slower today, as it generally is when I run with Steve, my legs felt as loose as they have done all week, the time includes a warm up, and the hills felt much more comfortable.  All in all this was probably a better run than my first attempt, save for the rather obvious navigational error that can be seen on the map below.

All being well this should serve as a good warm up for a big circuit on Lochnagar tomorrow, and my first 4 new Munros in several years…

Steve McQueen for his part is absolutely knackered:
