What a way to start two weeks off work – with an evening run up the local Munro! I joined a small crew from the main car park at 7pm on Thursday to make our way up the mountain. It took us just over two-and-a-half hours to get to the summit and back – not a bad effort considering this was only my second ‘proper’ hill run. <\/p>\n

From the top, An Teallach was lit beautifully by the setting sun.<\/p>\n
