A 7km
run on initially very wet and marshy ground, climbing onto moorland.
Route: leaving the car on the verge by the full layby at the west end of Loweswater and heading west along the road for 200m, then right on a track over a bridge over a stream and at a footpath sign turning left along marshy fields with brimful brooks. After a few fields heading through a wood and then by fields to Bramley and along a metalled road (with an incongruous road sign) to the road near Sosgill. Turning right and keeping on the road to the turn off uphill to Mosser old church (St Michael's) and then negotiating a series of gates round Mosser Gate Farm to the end of the metalled road to join the Fell Road rising to a summit with views of fells to the east and descending. Taking the second right to cross fields on a clear track and then down a stony track to the start.
Conditions: cloudy and breezy, with hints of rain but also brief sunny spells.
Pub? bottled Lidl Woodgate cider at the cottage with lunch.
