A 9km run with Lois whilst Angie and Al preferred a scenic drive in their motor.Route: leaving the car by the side of the road level with High Wood and running just inside the fields by the side of the road as far as the first Rannerdale Knotts car parks where bearing left to pick up a track towards the valley but descending through bluebells (too early for full effect) to ford the stream and run under the end of the fell to reach the pitched path. Walking up the path to the summit then running along the ridge to the far end and back down the valley. After a little while, crossing a small foot bridge to pick up a subtle (and empty) path eventually rejoining the outward track. This time taking a path to the east and 100m from the road under Grasmoor before running pathless across the field back to the car.
Conditions: warm, sunny but a little blustery on the top.
Pub: the Kirkstile Inn, Loweswater for Cumbrian Legendary Ales Mosaic and Loweswater Gold.
