9.54 miles, 1,098 feet, 1 hour 56 minutes: Rothay Bridge - Skelwith Fold - Skelwith Bridge - Drunken Duck - Rothay Bridge. Mainly overcast, with the cloud base at about 2,500 feet. Intermittent drizzle/light rain/graupel/sunshine. A moderate breeze at times from no specific direction. This was all on tarmac - water was streaming across the road in places. Very few people seen, none of them runners.

There is a smattering of snow above about 2,000 feet.

12.6 miles, 3,619 feet, 4 hours 17 minutes: Rothay Bridge to Swinescar Pike and back, via Loughrigg top, Silver How and Lang How both ways. Sunshine, and high fluffy clouds above the tops. A cold moderately strong wind from the north west. A few drops of rain. Terrain mainly wet/saturated/slippery. Not many walkers about - I came across the AAC Tuesday/Friday runners near Swinescar Pike - there were about a dozen of them; I saw 2 other runners.

I heard my first cuckoo of the year - just under Silver How.
