Chrisity Jul 2020 9:39pm, 8 Jul 2020 18,002 posts	Quote Pin Chrisity Also as we are talking round numbers as they are more satisfactory, it wouldn't be long before they became the Lakes 750m and let all sorts of riff-raff's join the club.

Her route is shorter ( avoiding 2 out'n'backs ) but a large drop and re-climb. At this stage of the game are you better doing shorter distance and more climbing, or vice-versa ? Personally I'd go for less climbing, but suppose it depends on where your strengths lie.
