8.61 miles, 2,498 feet, 2 hours 38 minutes: Wansfell Pike from 2 sides, including along the ridge to the true top, and up/down the race route from/to the kissing gate. Overcast with lots of high fluffy clouds; some patches of blue sky. Intermittent drizzle/light rain. A moderate breeze from the south west. Terrain damp/wet; grip good apart from on rock. Very few walkers about; no other runners seen.

The race descent is still very viable despite the height of the bracken.

There is another new cafe on Stockghyll Lane - Grove Barn - it is on the road past the turn off for the Pike.
