What has your point got to do with asking if Wasdale is a tough race.

The point I was trying to make was if you need to ask how tough the Wasdale race is after looking at the stats, looking at the mountains and route covered by it then you should not be doing it as it doesn't take a lot to work out that it is going to be a tough race.
