10.45 miles, 2,544 feet, 3 hours 6 minutes: Loughrigg trails, including down the race route to the road at High Close - horrible - down through Deerbolts Woods to Grasmere shore, along to White Moss, then back up to the top via Loughrigg Terrace and the steps overlooking Grasmere. Overcast with high clouds. No sun nor rain. A warm breeze from the south. Terrain dry with good grip. Lots of walkers on the fell; 3 runners seen.

I got stuck behind a large group at a gate near White Moss - it turned out the holdup was due to people taking selfies just the other side of the gate.

Who should I overtake going up the steps overlooking Grasmere but Charmian!
