Trias called another great hill to start on - Meall a Chaorainn which is only a 5k drive from Fort William and forms the SW corner of the Mamores range.
Apparently loads of people have flown there before but none of our group of eight knew anything about the site and our day started with a steep slog up 600m vertical of brashings, bog and heather to find a great take off on the grassy upper slopes.
This was quite a tiring flight with a number of tricky sections but I managed to stay in the air and it ended up as a new Scottish record at 154km open distance or just short of 170km with turnpoints.
What a day! The R10 just keeps giving...
