Arne – week two

Week two included a fire, survey work, an amazingly successful heathland amble and plenty of general maintenance, mostly with Trevor one of the estate workers.  The good people at Arne also keep a blog (some great pics get posted there and it’s a useful tool to keep track of migrant birds), which can be found here:

Whilst at Arne I’ve also been running in an attempt to see whether I’m going to be capable of competing in the Baxters Loch Ness corporate 10k, while I’m in Scotland.  Every three or four nights I ran to Ridge and back, about 8k, and on my third and final attempt I managed it in under 45 minutes, which I was pretty chuffed with given that I’d had ‘Trev’s gut’ for most of the time I’d been there.
