10.49 miles, 2,956 feet, 2 hours 57 minutes: Loughrigg trails. Overcast, a cold breeze at times, no rain. Terrain dry and soft with excellent grip. Saw 10 others on the fell, and a similar number on the road.

I must recommend Ivy Crag as a super spot for running, walking and picnicking. Great views, nice flat rocks to sit on. I am almost always on my own when there. The only proviso is that little ones would need to be closely observed - there are steep drop offs on 2 sides.
