Todays permitted exercise!

Really thats what I have been doing for the past 30 years, with the odd meal thrown in when the tent is pitched in a remote spot well away from any crowded pavements or paths

Please tell us what an "odd meal" consists of JK. Sweetmeats,gizzards, trotters? Please tell

7.97 miles, 2,400 feet, 2 hours 6 minutes: Loughrigg again. Constant light rain, painful in the wind, so top needed. Not many on the fell - understandable, given the forecast. Lots of blue arrows about, presumably for the Climbers Shop 60.

I shall be passing through Ambleside on monday. Most likely to be running above Langdale (and completing my list of Wainwrights), and probably just stop in Ambleside to grab some lunch and crowd the pavements!!

Rattle Gill Deli - opposite the Climbers Shop - highly recommended for provisions.

10.88 miles, 2,966 feet, 2 hours 41 minutes: Blue Hill Woods - Middle Grove - Kirkstone Inn - Red Screes - Roundhill Farm. Intermittent sun, cold wind, especially up high; no rain. Plenty about.

9.13 miles, 2,730 feet, 2 hours 30 minutes: the lesser paths on Loughrigg, mainly. Constant light drizzle, but vest "only" as too warm in a top. Lots about, most don't distance unless asked, and even some of them only move a few inches. How hard is it?

9.54 miles, 2,690 feet, 2 hours 45 minutes: Loughrigg paths again. Lovely sunny day, not too hot. Lots about, understandably.

I was above Langdale where I'd agree "not too hot".... But running down the enclosed Mickleden valley I'd say it was "too hot"!

It was certainly too hot down here. I'd intended to go out quite early but by the time I'd got my arse in gear it was nearly 12 before I started running and by the time I was 6 km in I was utterly drained! I gave up and went back to my car. I think I'll go into hibernation for the rest of the week, and wait for the rain to return.

3.77 miles, 1,300 feet, 3 hours: Wansfell Pike - almost - a walk with a friend from Glasgow. Lots on the top, but only 1 other person on the Blue Hills Wood route. Warm/humid; lovely views.

9.87 miles, 2,740 feet, 2 hours 35 minutes: Loughrigg, mainly on the minor paths. Fairly extensive high clouds, so sun not strong; nice cool breeze, good views. Ground drying up nicely. Lots about.
