Todays permitted exercise!

[Mike T]

12.37 miles, 3,882 feet, 4 hours 34 minutes: Elterwater Common - Silver How - Lang How - Swinescar Pike - Blea Rigg - Sergeant Man - then back more or less the way I had come, apart from dropping down towards Easedale Tarn and back up again - the final couple of hundred yards before the tarn was blocked by bracken. Overcast, with some of the tops obscured by cloud banks. Hazy in the distance. No rain - terrain mainly dry, but damp and slippery in places. A moderate breeze from the south. I met one runner just below Sergeant Man. Apart from him I did not meet anybody until on/after Silver How the second time - there were about a dozen walkers. I could hear people enjoying themselves at Easedale Tarn, but I could not see them.
