10.41 miles, 2,905 feet, 3 hours 6 minutes: Rothay Bridge - Miller Bridge - Rydal Park - Low Sweden Bridge - rock step - High Sweden Bridge - Scandale - Red Screes - south ridge - Golden Rule Pub - Ambleside. Sunshine and high fluffy clouds. A few seconds of drizzle. No significant wind. Terrain mainly dry with good grip. Not many walkers about; 2 runners seen.

No cattle on the Scandale lane today - thankfully.

I was shouted at on North Road near the pub: "Get out of the road!". The first half of the road has no pavements at all, the second half has uneven pavements thronging with visitors. I was going to give him a piece of my mind but the traffic stopped him from catching up with me.
