Grey day in the hills

There was nothing much to report or see on our little hill run today.

The weather wasn't great, although not raining, I knew there would be nothing to see when I reached the top.

The route I chose on this grim (ish) day included an ascent of Saddle Hill, my most hated ascent of all the hills in the ochils. So why did I go at all and why go 'that' route???.....cos sometimes you just gotta do things you may not enjoy as much but it makes you thankful that you can do them and that makes you more grateful for when everything comes together.

With the good stuff you sometimes have to take the bad stuff. Things can't be perfect all the time!

And you still get the good feeling when you get back down off the hill.....that you got it done. ✔️
