10.37 miles, 3,477 feet, 3 hours 38 minutes: Wansfell Pike from 2 sides, including up/down the race route from/to the kissing gate, and along the ridge to the true top. Heavily overcast, with large banks of cloud at several levels, including in the valley floor in places. Constant drizzle; a moderately strong wind from the south west. Terrain saturated/streaming/slippery. Not many walkers on the fell; 1 runner seen.

Despite the constant drizzle and the wind, it wasn't cold, and I did not wear my waterproof top. One of the walkers near the top of the Pike was in shorts and a T shirt.

Town is heaving - after dusk there is a children's parade where they carry home made lights - it is quite fun to watch.
