Todays permitted exercise!

13.23 miles, 3,486 feet, 3 hours 50 minutes: Fairfield Horseshoe clockwise from Rothay Bridge, going to the left of the two Heron Pike tops and Great Rigg, to the right of Hart and Dove Crags, and around the Rock Step. Overcast, with the cloud base at about 2,500 feet; the occasional shaft of sunlight. Windy but not cold on the tops - no rain. Terrain anything from dry to saturated and slippery. I saw fourteen walkers on the fell.

I had intended to go down the Rock Step, but it looked very wet and greasy so I went around it. A very strong walker caught up with me going up Nab Scar - it took until I had gone around the second Heron Pike top to shake him off.
