    8.04 miles, 701 feet, 83 minutes: Waterhead - Troutbeck Bridge - Troutbeck - Holbeck Lane - Waterhead; all on tarmac. Overcast, cloud base about 1,000 feet, intermittent light rain, a bit of a breeze at times, not cold. Very few about - 1 dog walker, 1 cyclist, no other runners. Not many vehicles.

    9.88 miles, 3,044 feet, 2 hours 55 minutes: Loughrigg trails. Overcast, continuous light rain, windy but not cold at the top of Loughrigg. Terrain is saturated - many paths are a stream or a series of puddles, depending on the gradient. Very slippery, but predictably so. Only saw 3 others on the fell - 2 runners and a dog walker. The short section of Under Loughrigg I ran on was under a foot of water in one spot.

    6.62 miles, 3,500 feet, 2 hours 30 minutes: Wansfell Pike, with twice down/up the race route to the kissing gate. Sunshine and clouds, 2-3 very brief spells of light drizzle, a cold wind on the top but it was enough to pull down the sleeves and do the zip up - windproof not needed. The terrain is still wet/slippery, but there were far fewer puddles and streams than yesterday. Saw about a dozen others on the fell, and 4-5 on the road.

    9.18 miles, 2,420 feet, 2 hours 27 minutes: Loughrigg trails. Mainly overcast, the odd spell of sunshine, no wind to speak of. Terrain drying out where facing the sun and wind, very wet and slippery elsewhere. About 10 on the fell.

    12.51 miles, 3,329 feet, 3 hours 38 minutes: Fairfield c/w. In cloud from 600 ft on the way up until 1,500 ft on the way down. It was obviously an inversion - occasionally there was blue sky above me, but I never escaped above the cloud. Cold wind on the very top - almost still elsewhere. The terrain continues to dry out, though the rocks are slippery. Saw 8 others on the fell, 5 of them fell runners.

    12.64 miles, 3,350 feet, 3 hours 27 minutes: Fairfield c/w. There was an early inversion, but the mist soon melted away leaving glorious sunshine. No wind. Frosty/crunchy terrain in places, rocks slippery. Saw 7 on the fell on the way up, all but 1 fell runners; there were a couple of dozen walkers heading up as I descended.

    9.97 miles, 3,433 feet, 3 hours 10 minutes: Wansfell ridge. What a glorious day - sunshine, no wind, terrain drying nicely. 20 or so on the fell; the roads are pretty quiet, though there are a few cyclists about.

    8.68 miles, 2,704 feet, 2 hours 42 minutes: Loughrigg trails. Sunshine again, no wind, terrain mainly dry. Quite a few about, both on the fell and on the roads. Got down to just a vest for most of the run.

    12.38 miles, 3,312 feet, 3 hours 37 minutes: Fairfield c/w. The thickest and most persistent inversion cloud I have come across. Got above the cloud towards the top of Nab Scar, re-entered it just below low Pike. Warm sunshine and no wind on the tops. Saw 11 others on the fell. What a day.

    Nice. And I'm guessing you've seen more than most.
