Road run at dusk under snow-sprinkled fells (L without her phone)
Route: Leaving the cottage to run down to the crossroads and turn left along Hopebeck Lane all the way up and then down to the main Scales Hill road. There turning left to run along past the Buttermere fork to the Turner How, turn and running up past the recently-refurbished farm and back left along the Buttermere road to take the rack up to Low and New Hollins. Taking the short linking footpath between fences through to High Hollins, cutting across the farmyward and down to rejoin Hopebeck Lane heading north. At Hopebeck turning right to run up past Hope Farm to above High Swinside (walking from the first gate to the top of the HS turning) and on to junction with Boon Beck Lane - sprinting down in the gathering gloom to return to the village and home!
Conditions: Cool but dry and windless under snow-sprinkled fells, bit breezier up on the fell
Pub? Tea and shortbread - and sip of Tim's Kveik Mystic Origins IPA (from a can)
