7.3 miles, 2,593 feet, 2 hours 48 minutes: NDG - Stickle Tarn - North Rake - Thunacar Knott - High Raise - Sergeant Man - Blea Rigg - Stickle Tarn - NDG. Initially overcast, with the cloud base at about 2,700 feet, later it became rather sunny. Intermittent drizzle/light rain. A moderate breeze from the west. Terrain dry/damp/wet; the rocks in particular were slippery. Quite a few walkers about, some in large groups; I saw 2 fellow runners, or it might have been the same chap twice.

I was swooped by a pair of seagulls near Stickle Tarn - unlike the Winterseeds buzzard, they did not get close enough to hear their wings, and they also squawked whilst swooping, so I had plenty of warning.
