11.01 miles, 4,099 feet, 3 hours 54 minutes: Travellers Rest - Winterseeds - Tongue Ghyll - Grisedale Hause - up the zig zag steps - Helvellyn - down the grass next to the steps - Seat Sandal - Winterseeds - Travellers Rest.
Mainly overcast, with both high clouds and banks of cloud in places above about 2,000 feet. Some spells of sunshine. A moderate wind from the north, often stronger in the valleys than on the tops. No rain. Terrain anything from dry to wet/saturated, so grip was variable. Not many walkers about, despite which the car parks and town were very busy. 7 other runners seen near the top of Helvellyn.

The buzzard just above Winterseeds is back - I was buzzed as I was descending.
