I suspect that there is little to no (general) practical difference in the order that you do these. (wind direction OTD may be one factor, but that's about all I can think of).

The ground you cross climbing Beck Gill to HR is horrible and tussocky, the climb to SM is either a decent trod or fairly benign ground. Plus HR to TK is way faster ground than SM to TK. HR/SM is the traditional route, anyone who has spent any time running both routes now goes SM/HR.

flyingfinn Aug 2020 10:30pm, 18 Aug 2020 2,147 posts	Quote Pin flyingfinn That's awesome. Especially given how wet much of the ground is at present. And it hopefully removes the anolmaly of Graham Patten having the fastest time (9.58) but it being unofficial as he wasn't supported. The fastest previous official time was 10.15 by Scoffer a couple of years ago.
