8.08 miles, 2,970 feet, 2 hours 51 minutes: Traveller's Rest - Winterseeds - Grisedale Tarn - Fairfield - Great Rigg - Heron Pike - Nab Scar - Alcock Tarn - Traveller's Rest. Overcast, with the cloud base at around 1,000 feet; constant drizzle/light rain, a very strong wind from the south on the tops, yet no wind in the valleys. I had full waterproof kit on, with the hood up most of the time. Terrain saturated and very slippery. Lots of walkers and fell runners ascending Fairfield - there is obviously an event on based in Grasmere.
I thought I was making reasonable progress going up to Grisedale Tarn, but was overtaken as if I was standing still by a chap carrying a bike.
