8.45 miles, 3,362 feet, 3 hours 46 minutes: ODG - The Band - Crinkle Crags - Pike o'Blisco - ODG. Wall to wall sunshine; barely a breeze, even on the tops. Terrain anything from dry to saturated - slippery in places. Very few about - two fellow runners seen.

I tried a couple of variations away from the race descent off Blisco - whilst they are not shorter/quicker than the race route they are more enjoyable - until the bracken reappears.
