7.01 miles, 1,607 feet, 2 hours 34 minutes: Loughrigg trails, including Todd Crag, Lily Tarn, and Loughrigg top. Overcast, with cloud/mist almost down to the valley floor. Constant drizze/light rain. A moderate wind from the south west. Terrain: an inch or so of wet snow in the valley; six inches or so at the top of Loughrigg. Very slippery, even with microspikes. Very few walkers about; 1 runner seen - in the valley.

I certainly needed my best all over waterproofs, double socks, double gloves, and microspikes today - worst conditions for a long time.
