There had been the threat of rain most of the day, but things stayed clear, however conditions were very windy. The climb started slightly further up the hill than the previous week’s Law Breaker, which avoided the bottle-neck up the steps from the car park. I felt weaker than the previous week on the ascent, though it seemed to go more easily, and I felt pretty good coming off the summit of The Law, to be hit by the strong wind (almost as bad as Tinto in 2021!) on the run across to Ben Cleuch, though the terrain was good and dry, and despite the wind I made fairly fast progress. From Ben Cleuch onwards I had a much-needed tailwind out across to Andrew Gannell Hill, and then much of the descent was extremely runable, even by my standards, with just the last 500m or so presenting any really steep terrain.
