8 miles, 2,142 feet, 1 hour 56 minutes, along the Wansfell Ridge and back. There definitely seem to be more people at "ground" level, still very few high up.

Today's PDE was a 63 mile and 5,900 feet bike ride out to the Staffordshire Moorlands. A glorious day on what are always quiet roads. Only saw 8-10 other cyclists all day. Called into the village shop in Hartington where my custom was welcomed. Not a Stay Home sign to be seen. They know which side their bread is buttered. My visit was not out of necessity but I just fancied a pork pie that I could see in the window, having previously eaten too much sweet stuff!
From a selfish point of view this lockdown can stay all summer, as the Peak District is so peaceful at present and absolutely beautiful with the abundance of wild flowers and the air filled with birdsong.
I fear when things get relaxed it will be a nightmare with the place being overrun with Mancs and Dee Dahs.
Visibility good except in Hill Fog
Lovely bike ride with my loved one.
Our to Garforth, Saxton, Sherburn and back via Kippax.
A lot of BBQ smells and garden parties happening.
Beautiful weather, just covered 34k with 500m ascent.
6.64 miles, 63 minutes, around the Roman ruins. I used to only have to change direction to avoid people once or twice on this route - today - 10 times? As far as I know they could all be locals, but I doubt it.
Wales announcement that we can now exercise twice a day, if only I was young and had the energy
Don't roll with a pig in poo. You get covered in poo and the pig likes it.
Today's PDE was a 6 mile and 500ft evening run on very heavy legs after yesterdays bike ride. Down towards Haddon Hall, around Shining Bank quarry and up Lathkill Dale.
Heard 3 different Woodpeckers giving it some hammer, swallowed a few flies but saw no one.
