11.26 miles, 3,149 feet, 4 hours 1 minute: Travellers Rest - Helm Crag - Gibson Knott - Calf Crag - Sergeant Man - Tarn Crag - Far Easedale - Travellers Rest. Overcast, with the cloud base above the high tops; hazy in the distance. A few minutes of drizzle. No significant wind. Terrain dry and hard with good grip. Lots of walkers about; no other runners seen.

Town and carparks busy.

Both descents from Tarn Crag towards Grasmere are interesting - one more or less follows the line of the ridge, the other heads towards the outlet of Easedale Tarn from about halfway down. Each has a few short steep sections, but they are also very runnable in places. Unfortunately both will soon be blocked by bracken.
