just got back from two days in edale, perfect weather, lovely walking, great days out on the hills.

Am i mistaken in thinking that because the race is less than 250' of climb per mile, it doens't actually class as a category A? i could be wrong, but i thoiught that was who races were classified!

i looked at that grinslow shortcut. if i knew where to go when i get to the bottom, and had reccied a route back up to ringing roger then i might have been tempted. but when you get to the bottom of a climb you've never been up before, it is difficult to navigate your way and not become demoralised.

i'll be sticking to the top ridge.
