FRIDAY 25TH FEBRUARY

REST DAY (feeling a bit better).

Tomorrows plan was to run from bridge of orchy to fort william (36)m.
But having been unwell and with birthdays and working weekends iv decided to reverse my run and do bridge of orchy to balmaha. 35ish miles.
The reason for this means i will be home for 7pm rather than 10pm ish travelling from fort william at 7.10pm bus.So hope the cold is better tamara.
