Metric categories

[L.F.F.]

I sometimes think many of the steep lakeland races are actually a bit easier because you have to walk the ups

And some of the very steep ones are even easier as you get to use your hands as well, as I found on Saturday hauling myself up Eel Crags like a ragged animal!

Being Pedantic, the fellsman isn't technically a "true" fell race, as it's not an FRA-registered event...

So being pendantic then.... BOFRA fell races aren't fell races either??

or Kilnsey? Mind you that's a crag race!

This new 'metrification' is nothing but an inconvenience (to put it nicely), I am forever calculating what each race is in miles/feet whilst reading the calendar so it actually means something.

Complete opposite for me I'm afraid.. metric makes much more sense.

Must be real tough looking at the contours on maps too ... and all the spot heights.
Or did you save your maps from the 1980s ???

You sure you quoted the right quote there Thug?

I can't understand why they decided not to include both metric and imperial. If they'd done that then everybody would have had something to disagree with.

And do that in conjunction with metric maps as well.

Well for distance it has to be miles (kilometers are rubbish) but I think I can cope with meters for height
