There was no real question as to where I would head to today. Straight to Inchnadamph and up the gorgeous trail towards the Col beneath Conival.

I headed out early to do my 6 x 3 minute hill intervals on the end of Day 4 as I’d remembered I’d loved the tiny rocky trail with its glistening white rocks. Intervals done the return trip was far more enjoyable taking photos along the way. From the camp at Inverbroom I took the trail to cheer on the runners on their last few miles, I found a lovely big boulder and painted about the only view I could find! Back to camp for m
