11.75 miles, 3,033 feet, 4 hours 6 minutes: Loughrigg trails. Overcast, with the cloud base varying between 1,500 and 2,500 feet. Intermittent drizzle/light rain. A moderate breeze from the south west. Terrain wet/saturated/slippery. Quite a few walkers about; 3 runners seen.
Two cuckoos heard. The bracken, despite not being that tall, has in many places fallen over in the wind and the rain, making it a real nuisance.
