10.25 miles, 2,971 feet, 3 hours 47 minutes: Loughrigg trails, including down the race route to the road at High Close, down through Deerbolts Woods to Grasmere shore, and back up to the top via Loughrigg Terrace and the steps overlooking Grasmere. Blue sky and sunshine, a few thin streaky clouds on the horizon, very cold in the shade. No precipitation, no significant wind. Terrain frozen solid from the valley floor up - on a lot of the ground this means yesterday's snow/slush is now solid ice, be it in sheets or lumps. Microspikes worn from door to door - they were excellent. Not many walkers on the fell; no runners seen.

Apparently it got down to minus 10 overnight. I have never seen so much ice except in a ski resort.
