Just under 9 tonight takes me to 45ish, with 4,235 ft of climb - 19k ft looking unlikely!
Total time 7:02:38.
18 miles to check point 2, which is just about the distance from my house, over the top of Divis mountain and back.

I'm reading through it in full today HappyG - seems to be in the spirit of things!
A driech morning run got me from Rowardenan to Beinglas Farm this morning. Luckily, I was able to do this on atrail with the loch on my left, to emulate the bonnie, bonnie banks since Loch Leven is local. I even added a couple of miles with a figure-of-8 on steep woodland trails (soaking wet grass hanging over the path all the way since they've not been used much in 2020 - saturated socks) to mirror the top of Loch Lomond and Dario's post - loads of steep steps up and down too, so a good fit to the actual route.
And a bonus as I added a wee bit more to round up to 14 miles was to bump into HappyG's v-whw-race team-mate (for whom he was meant to be crewing next weekend for the cancelled race). And an extra bonus was seeing four others (separate) runners I know for a chat at various points, including sharing 3 miles with a clubmate (local GP - lots to chat about, as we ran through clouds of millions and millions of wee flies).
Glad to have a few weekend miles banked since I'm still working (form home) next week. How's everyone else doing?

Leg one - complete.
I'm only just beyond Inversnaid.
But might get lost the other side of Tyndrum, as it is unknown territory for me.

virtually unknown, anyway. The top half is dead easy to navigate FenlandNavigator. Big valleys, just follow the path up the middle, don't forget to trun right as you leave Loch leven and it's nae bother.

Love to do it in 'real life'. Definitely on my very small list of a couple of races, basically Western States and West Highland Way are my only entries.

Brilliant Andy. Glad you bumped into Kenny KJTindall formerly of this parish, and many others. No chat around my 3 miles today.
Our team has now logged me: 29 (6.5+13+9.5), KJT 24.5 (6+6+12.5) and katypie 27 (7 + 20?) ? I think there's a chance we'll have done a bit more than 95 by the end of the 10 days!
Great fun. I've ordered myself the pink buff as a present! G

You've done Fling FR. Have you done Devil? No need to do full WHW if you've done both! Devil is very doable. It's one of the few ultras I'd consider doing again. G
