_andy 160 miles of sailing, 60 miles of hill running.  4 miles print round Oban in the sun was fine. Ben More on Mull was hit by cramp - 2:30 to the top of the hill, but wasted lots of time on the descent to the northern corrie over the scree, with bad cramp.  Long descent and return along the eastern glen in 2:40 (!) to get back to Salen for 5:10 Mull time.  Jura took even longer (5:45) with hideous weather up high as well as quite un-runnable terrain.  And more cramp.  The wind then dropped overnight and after hours of bobbing around and going backwards (tides) off the mull of Kintyre, we called it a day and missed Arran - motor on to get into Troon for 7.30pm.  Disappointed, but you need wind for sailing. Kinross Road Runners
