9.76 miles, 3,797 feet, 4 hours 13 minutes: NDG - Stickle Tarn - Martcrag Moor - Rossett Pike - Bowfell - the Band - NDG. Overcast, with the cloud base initially above the tops, but whilst on Bowfell the clouds thickened/lowered, and there were a few drops of rain. A strong wind from the west. Terrain mainly dry with good grip. Very few walkers about; I came across seven other fell runners.

I clarified 4 things today: 1/ the initial ascent in the Langdale Horseshoe 2/ part of the descent in the Dungeon Ghyll race 3/ going over rather than around the ridge to the top of Rossett Pike 4/ staying on the first ramp on the ascent to Bowfell is better than changing ramps.
