Todays permitted exercise!

10.6 miles, 3,133 feet, 3 hours 36 minutes: Wansfell Pike twice - the first time via Stagshaw Gardens, the Champion Tree Trail, Skelghyll Wood, and the 3 way junction; then along the ridge to the true top and Baystones, down to the upper part of Nanny Lane, and up to the Pike the second time; finally descending via the 3 way junction, Blue Hill Woods/Lane and Stock Ghyll Lane. Sunshine, blue sky and high clouds - mainly of the streaky variety. A lovely cool breeze from the north east. Terrain dry/hard/good grip. Not many walkers about; no runners seen.
I have never known the Wansfell ridge to be so dry - you would have to try really hard to get your shoes wet.

10.33 miles, 2,978 feet, 3 hours 40 minutes: Loughrigg trails, including down the race route from the top to the road at High Close and back up again. Sunshine, blue sky, and a few high fluffy and streaky clouds. No rain. A cold breeze from the north east, refreshing at times, too cold at others. Terrain dry/hard/good grip.
The bracken is now making many paths unpleasant.
I only recently learnt where the Loughrigg owl tree hole is - and today the owl was there!
