11.48 miles, 3,432 feet, 3 hours 6 minutes: Low Sweden Bridge - Dove Crag - Scandale Pass - Red Screes. Left home at 7 am in fog; by Low Pike I was above an inversion. Best views for a long time. A much nicer temperature for running compared to recent days. Very few walkers about this early, though there were some other fell runners.
Tights?

Is there something you'd like to say DT?Originally Posted by Derby Tup
Yes, wore them today - 2XU Icex - supposedly help you to lose heat - I had finished by 10 am and was never too hot - nice breeze high up and often in the shade on the lower part of the return route.
11.91 miles, 3,543 feet, 3 hours 12 minutes: Wansfell Ridge - Kirkstone Inn - Red Screes. It has cooled down at last. Lots on the fells and on the roads. Overcast with intermittent refreshing light rain.
7.35 miles, 784 feet, 72 minutes: Skelwith Bridge - Drunken Duck route. Lovely and cool - in shorts again - not too many about except in Ambleside - traffic and pedestrians +++.
Mike T is holding this thread together... great stuff!
7.39 miles, 1,325 feet, 1 hour 32 minutes: Skelwith Fold - Skelwith Bridge - Loughrigg Tarn - Loughrigg Top. Refreshing light drizzle throughout - vest only. Town busy with both cars and people; nobody else on the fell. It is weeks since I was last on Loughrigg - some of the paths are unrecognisable because of the bracken - but I know they are there.
Vest only?!
