Todays permitted exercise!

[Mike T]

15.32 miles, 3,957 feet, 4 hours 53 minutes: Wansfell Pike from High Skelghyll, descending via Blue Hill Woods, and doing the High Skelghyll Low Wood loop a couple of times, as well as descending Mirk Lane and ascending Wain Lane. Overcast and murky, the cloud base was indistinct - sometimes I could see the outlines of the Langdale Pikes, Wetherlam and Coniston, sometimes I couldn't. A strengthening wind from the south west; a few minutes of drizzle. Terrain saturated/streaming - puddles and rivulets everywhere. Traction surprisingly good - compared to yesterday it was heaven. Not many walkers about; 4 runners seen - in the valley.

I should add that almost all of yesterday's snow has vanished. The only snow I saw was a shovelful or two next to the wall near the top of the Pike. None of the high fells had any visible snow on them.
