yet another amazing day in Cumbria, and Claire and I decided to go for a fell run to celebrate. A steep ascent of Bowscale Fell from Mungrisedale was followed by the traverse along its plateau to the col under Blencathra. From there we followed the River Glendermackin before climbing back up to the top of Mousethwaite Combe and thence over Souther Fell. The final descent to Mungrisedale dropped us off at the Mill Inn for a sandwich and a beer before staggering the last 500m to the car.
I would guess the total distance to be around 6 1/2 miles...not bad for a third day out on the trot. Not sure what tomorrow will bring - however can't let this weather go to waste.
