		<description><![CDATA[Today was supposed to be the climbing day I&#8217;d &#8216;earned&#8217; after another tough week&#8217;s running but, with my prospective partner&#8217;s legs apparently screaming/shot from skiing yesterday and me not fancying yet another run on some purgatorially snow-compromised local off-road course, I had to find something else to do. So I headed up to the Quoich [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today Jamie B and I headed to the North-East Corrie of Beinn an Dothaidh in search of some sensible mixed climbing in conditions where serious avalanche risk following this week&#8217;s dumps of snow over surface hoar still ruled out many of the more &#8216;traditional&#8217; venues. And it soon became obvious on our approach to The [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After running off-road every night this week bar one (Wednesday&#8217;s road run) and finding Thursday&#8217;s and Friday&#8217;s efforts severely snowy struggles, I decided I deserved a long, &#8216;easy&#8217; run for some cheap mileage and headed out this afternoon to run round the Loch. Which took me 2 hours 49 mins for 20.2 miles of hilly [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Just back (last night) from Winter Mountain Leader Training at Glenmore Lodge with instructors Eric Pirie, David Haygarth and (for one day) John Armstrong. Don&#8217;t know when I last saw (or dug!) so much snow, but there was plenty to play with in conditions ranging from spectacularly clear to total whiteout, the standard of instruction [...]]]></description>

Well, it&#8217;s got to be [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s MICROspike weather again! With this evening&#8217;s fresh snow at village level obviously extending to cover the icy paths higher up, I&#8217;ve been wearing the spikes again instead of just carrying them. Which is fine, really, because the running&#8217;s quite simply easier when the routes are either clear or properly covered than somewhere in-between.
On quite [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today I climbed Italian Right-Hand (IV,4) on Ben Nevis with Stephan Mors. While we&#8217;d been hoping that Harrison&#8217;s Climb Direct (same grade) on Carn Dearg might be in, what we could see of it looked quite bare and unformed as we walked past so the search for another route was on. And Italian Right-Hand proved [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[While I&#8217;ve been very happy with my Garmin Forerunner 305 as a training/pacing/recording aid for three years, I&#8217;ve just bought the new 310XT with this year&#8217;s West Highland Way Race in mind. Mainly for the increased 20-hour battery life (which should be enough to see me home if all goes to plan!), although its ability [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Just had a great weekend with my brother Angus when we climbed the classic Twisting Gully (III,4) on Stob Coire nan Lochan yesterday and went mountain biking all round the Torlundy/Leanachan area today.
Had headed to SCNL with Original/Raeburn&#8217;s Route in mind, but changed our objective when it became apparent that we&#8217;d have to wait some [...]]]></description>
