Working on big hills make the 'smaller' lakes climb seem alot easier and it keeps you fresher. Just repeating bits of the BG for training sake makes it a bit stale.
Absolutely spot on there Ian. I live in the Lakes and spent too much time on the bg route last year, came to my first attempt in september 2008 and it all felt wrong on the day. Stale is the word. I just didn't want to get round. This time i have hardly been on the bg route, just short sections. Instead training on areas of the lakes i've not visited much before. Now i can't wait for the big day.
