I think some of the more athletic end of the field don't share our love of mountain-craft, or know they are not particularly good at it.

Without, in my case, being disingenuously modest, I don't think the world cares tuppence if you, me or Joe Jogger pootles round with a GPS (if I could work one), although purist eyes may be raised to the heavens, but at the pointy end if someone is following the trace on his watch to win medals over someone subscribing to the traditional ethics of fell running then that, I suggest, is a matter worthy of debate.
