10/4/10 Dave H. Easily the warmest day of the year so far. Didn't have time for a long run so did a short one with a great view instead. Started from Braenaloin and ran up the road (against all my principles I know but I overtook two cyclists so that makes it ok. Admittedly they weren't actually pedaling at the time). After about 10 mins a track goes off to the left. It goes all the way to the summit, then back down to the start. Great views in all directions, lots of snow still on Ben Avon and Lochnagar (though curiously Lochnagar looks closer from the bottom of our track than it did from the top of the hill). Took a few seconds under the hour for the round trip. If you run the loop in the opposite direction you would get a better balance than my 46 mins uphill and 13 down.05/06/10 Sarah
