What a brilliant day. Lake District fells with no rocks😀 usual steep climb to start. Just a few rocks on Carrock Fell top then a longish meander to High Pike negotiating the boggy bits a bit like the fells near Howarth. Then what seems like a long descent to the finish. It was absolutely fantastic really fast downhill all the way did in less than 10 minutes 😀 really great for descenders like me 😀 distance 9k did it in 1:17😀
