Just a thought on the Grindslow-RR short cut

Looking at the split times between the two tops
Lloyd 16.09 Direct
Simon 19.03 Round the top
Rob 16.51 Round the top

it would appear that the direct is the best way( esp if you have Lloyds legs)

Is there any one on the forum that took the short cut and how did they do against their peers? Did you gain or loose...?
