A short run at the end of a Sunday afternoon (on a day L had spent at Loweswater Show).Route: leaving the car at the old school building at Wythop Mill and running slowly uphill to the entry point to Ling Fell, then taking an initial zig zag to reduce steepness, continuing gradually uphill clockwise on a track, becoming grassy and then a path.
Then descending parallel with, and above, Tom Rudd Beck, bending off the right of way to maintain altitude and to join Green Lonning at a gate a little later. Descending to the road and walking back to the car.
Conditions: a warm strong breeze and a low sun with blue sky and clouds.
Pub: the Pheasant Inn, Bassenthwaite, for Lakes and Dales Gold and Bitter, taken in the garden to avoid a Trump supporter in the small bar.
