Glen Feochan

The second run I did at Kilmore near Oban was through Glen Feochan.  The run headed East out of Kilmore along a flat quiet country road, which eventually started to climb a hill.  After about 5k the road crossed a stream and hidden away along a short path through the trees there was a lovely waterfall with a small pool.

In a field along the glen a family of Oystercatchers were calling noisily.

Loch Nell, Kilmore Scotland

A 10k run along the side of Loch Nell at Kilmore near Oban in Scotland.  Lovely scenery, unfortunately it was raining throughout the run so we got rather wet.  After a short distance along the main road from Oban the route passed through the village of Kilmore and headed along the southern shore of Loch Nell before climbing a windy road above the western side of the Loch.

A Common Sandpiper and Little Grebe were seen on the Loch and at the point at which we turned back a Buzzard flew off from its perch on a telegraph pole.
