13.07 miles, 3,528 feet, 4 hours 14 minutes: Rothay Bridge to Fairfield and back, going up and down the eastern half of the horseshoe, staying on the race side of the wall apart from a couple of hundred yards below Hart Crag, and using the rock step both ways. Sunny with some thin high clouds; the occasional top was obscured by cloud banks. No rain nor significant wind. Terrain anything from dry to saturated and slippery. Quite a few walkers on the fells; 1 other runner seen.

Again I was "paced" - on the ascent - all the way from Low Sweden Bridge to Dove Crag - I only got away from this strong walker when it flattened out and I could start to run.
