      		 Rough as a badger’s - seems way more boulder-strewn than this time last year. Great fun but brutal on the bike (1 x smashed mech + 1 x 50p’d rim)

      		 In pretty good nick and a great descent down to Annat in Torridon. Some great easy slabs and lots of juddery rubble but not particularly steep.
