8.52 miles, 2,583 feet, 2 hours 42 minutes: Loughrigg trails, taking in Todd and Ivy Crags, Lily Tarn; going down the race descent to the road at High Close, and up the steps opposite Loughrigg Tarn. Overcast, with the cloud base at about 2,500 feet, though Skiddaw was cloud free and white on top. A moderate wind from the south. No rain. Terrain saturated and slippery. I saw 2 walkers on the fell; there were 2 other runners, 1 on the fell, 1 in the valley.
