11.31 miles, 3,090 feet, 3 hours 54 minutes: Loughrigg trails, including down the race route to the road at High Close, down through Deerbolts Woods to Grasmere shore, then back up to the top via Loughrigg Terrace and the steps overlooking Grasmere. Initially foggy down to the valley floor in many places, later it cleared slightly, with banks of cloud/mist at multiple levels. No sunshine, no blue sky, no wind, no rain. Terrain damp/wet/saturated and slippery, particularly the rocks. Not many walkers about, though there was a large group of about a dozen. 1 runner seen.

Several more of my favourite paths are now more or less bracken free, including the trod east of the Grasmere steps between 830 and 960 feet.
