A 6km solitary C-19 run.
Route: leaving the close and running up Oxenholme Road and then, for the first time in ages, turning right onto the footpath across the fields to Barton Road. Left to the railwayline and then right on a footpath south which turns right towards Natland. After some confusion emerging on the road uphill under the railway line to the front-of-Helm lane. Starting on the footpath round the south of the Helm but soon turming left to head uphill and then further left to spurn the summit and slowly trend towards the lowest point of the saddle. Here taking the left diagonal descent (the third such option) but bearing right off it onto a narrow path maintaining altitude for as long as possible. then descding towards the Station Inn and home.Conditions: very warm for the time of year (18C) though hazy sun.
Pub? (C-19) No beer. A G&T on the patio.
