9.64 miles, 3,035 feet, 3 hours 8 minutes: Wansfell Pike, ascending via Blue Hill Road and the steps, descending via Hundreds Road and High Skelghyll. Overcast, with the cloud base at about 600 feet. Constant drizzle/light rain. A moderate wind from the south. Terrain saturated/streaming and very slippery. I saw about 10 walkers on the fell, and - in the valley - 1 runner.

This time last week the car parks were full - today they are almost empty.
