9.01 miles, 2,836 feet, 3 hours 3 minutes: Wansfell Pike, taking in Borrans Park, the Waterhead steps, and Skelghyll Woods on the way up, and the Hundreds Road and Bluehill Woods on the way down. Overcast, with the cloud base at about 2,000 feet; a strong wind, even in the valleys, from the south west. Intermittent light rain. Terrain wet/saturated and slippery. Very few about; two fellow runners seen.

At first I tried to go past the Roman Ruins, but there are short unavoidable sections that are a couple of feet under water, so I turned back. I found a nice relatively dry stretch of grass in Borrans Park - between the Ruins and Waterhead - so did some drills and strides after warming up.
