An 8km run and swim on the final day of a week based at the cottage.
Route: leaving the car in the NT car park just before the village (free to members; about half full at 11am on a sunny Friday) and running down past the pub, to the west side of the lake and hence counter-clockwise round the lake, pausing just after the 6km mark (GR186162) to step off the path and swim for 10 minutes or so (stony entry but swiftly shelving; narrow stony beach). then continuing along the path and back to the car.Conditions: a hot sunny day.
Pub: the Bridge Hotel, Buttermere for Jennings Cocker Hoop.
