7.03 miles, 2,411 feet, 2 hours 18 minutes: Wansfell Pike from the west, ascending via Borrans Road, Stagshaw Gardens, the Champion Tree Trail, Skelghyll Woods, and Blue Hill Woods/Road. Overcast, with the cloud base at about 1,300 feet. Constant drizzle/light/moderate rain. A moderate wind from the south east. Not cold. Terrain saturated and very slippery. I saw 11 walkers and 1 runner on the fell; the runner warned me that he had slipped 3 times.
The forestry workers have been along some of the paths in Skelghyll Woods with their 4WDs and made a real mess of them, but I suppose they have to get the trees out somehow.
