10.8 miles, 3,110 feet, 3 hours 19 minutes: Loughrigg trails, including Todd Crag, Lily Tarn, down the race route to the road at High Close, through Deerbolts Woods to Grasmere shore, and back up to the top via Loughrigg Terrace and the steps overlooking Grasmere. Overcast, with the cloud base at about 2,000 feet. There is a snow line at roughly half that. Virtually continuous drizzle; a moderately strong cold breeze from the south east. Terrain wet/saturated and slippery. Not many walkers about; no runners seen.
New trousers day 2: surprisingly, they dried overnight without being anywhere near a heater; again, they kept me nice and warm.
