I gather Garmins are not very accurate on ascent/descent although there is not much tree cover on the Rombalds to upset them.
I was basing my comments on this post from Chris Brown

"I've just plotted the new course changes on to a map and now make the total distance between 24+miles (pos 25), vs. the old route at 22+miles. I'll be doing a full recce over the xmas break, let me know if anyone wants to join me?

Though I was suprised when I read it because though the new loop is biggish a lot has been cut from the Chevin.
