4/4/10 Dave H. Stopped at a friend's in Penrith on the way back from Chester and went for a run with him up the highest of the Howgills. These are the grassy hills on the east side of the M6 which I've always thought would be great running country. They are, especially on a sunny evening. Didn't see anyone else despite it being Easter Sunday. We started from the very small road on the west side of the hills, where there is just room for one car to park. At a busier time of year it would be more sensible to start in Sedbergh.
