10.38 miles, 3,250 feet, 3 hours 22 minutes: Loughrigg trails, including up the steps overlooking Loughrigg Tarn, down the race route to the road at High Close, and back up to the top via the steps overlooking Grasmere. Overcast, with the cloud base at about 2,000 feet. Intermittent drizzle. A moderately strong wind from the east. Terrain wet/saturated and slippery. Quite a few walkers on the fell. 3 runners seen, 2 in the valley and 1 on the fell.

Given the forecast the wind was quite tame, and it was not at all cold - despite the drizzle I did not use my waterproof top.

Really pleased with the grip provided by my new shoes.
