Route: leaving the car at the racecourse, for once, and crossing it to reach the main path, diagonally left, following it gently uphill, through a hand-gate and diverting left on the ‘trippy path’. Walking uphill parallel with the wall and then continuing south at a run, downhill to pick up the familiar path to the right crossing over to the cliff and heading north, taking a slight right turn to gain altitude and then ascend to the trig point. Continuing north through the gap in the wall to another hand-gate and turning right to descend this to the other, farm-track, entrance to the Scar and back 100m along the road to the start.
Conditions: an initially chilly feeling 8C but quickly hot because of both running and some sun.
Pub? L needing to study, a bottle of cider back home.
