The 5th edition of excruciating detail is 400 pages.

[QUOTE=Graham Breeze;674468]It's very rude to ask how old I am but - just between ourselves - in 2016 I was First V70 in 50 fell races (out of 61).
And you're looking good to be 1st V75 at Blencathra in 2021
Visibility good except in Hill Fog
Wow, 50 category wins a year. Chapeau!
Damn these youngsters coming through!
