10.75 miles - (actually 12.55, as my Garmin for some reason did not record the first 1.8 miles - I repeated it later to check the missed distance), 2,684 feet, 3 hours 10 minutes: Rothay Bridge - Roman Ruins - Borrans Park - Stagshaw Gardens - Champion Tree Trail - High Skelghyll - Skelghyll Lane - Holdback Lane - Low Wood - High Skelghyll - Wansfell Pike - race route descent - Waterhead- Stagshaw Gardens - Borrans Park - Roman Ruins - Rothay Bridge. Overcast, with the main cloud base at about 2,000 feet; banks of cloud at various levels below that. Intermittent drizzle/light to moderate rain. A moderate breeze from the north. Terrain wet/saturated/streaming/slippery - I wore an old pair of Mudtalons as they were "dry" - for about 5 minutes. Very few walkers about; 1 runner and 3 grey squirrels seen.
