7.15 miles, 2,544 feet, 2 hours 50 minutes: NDG - Stickle Tarn - North Rake - Thunacar Knott - High Raise - Sergeant Man - Blea Rigg - Stickle Tarn - NDG. Overcast, with some of the high tops hidden by clouds. A refreshing breeze from the south. No rain. Terrain dry with good grip. Not many walkers about; 3 fellow runners seen.

Again I was swooped by a seagull at Stickle Tarn.

This morning I went for a dental check up for the first time since Covid - normally I go every 6 months. Luckily nothing of note was found. Given that I had recently been to a restaurant for my partner's birthday it made little sense to delay a dental check any longer.
