11.6 miles, 3,010 feet, 3 hours 34 minutes: Rothay Bridge - Miller Bridge - Rydal Park - Low Sweden Bridge - rock step - High Sweden Bridge - Scandale - High Bakestones - High/Low Pikes - rock step - Rydal Park - Ambleside. Sunshine, and a mixture of fluffy and streaky clouds above the high tops. No rain. A strong quite cold wind from the north. Terrain mainly dry with good grip. Not many walkers about. 2 runners seen in the valley, and about 8 AAC runners chased me up Scandale, but did not quite catch me.
