Solo fr Glenridding, 9.15am to 2:30pm, plenty of running (still thinking the 2020 London Marathon, postponed fr April due to Covid, might happen in October - but it was soon cancelled). Overcast with no sunshine, but pleasant, not too windy, dry & bright. Came this far south and pondered going further, but turned back over Helvellyn to head for Catstye Cam.NorfolkPT2103/08/2020
