I think you'll find that it's nearer 1000ft and 3/4 mile further as you will have to go to Upper Booth. I think that is a no brainer. Nice thought though but that really is going off the skyline.

Your correct Ian 1000ft ascent and 1.05 miles in length, it saves 1.08 miles of skyline running.

I was under the impression that it was a checkpoint race with only a couple of sections flaged, which suggests the route choice is optional?

Surely everyone will have put the ground work in and choose the route that suits their strengths?
