    Well, if I wasn't bricking it before, I definitely am now... Thanks for that.
  • Nice animation of the route topography. I wonder if the hills are accentuated, as it makes the route profile look worse than it actually is (if that's possible).

  • I thought it made the climbing look less threatening than real life! I saw a photo of Hardknott today on Dave Lloyd's website for the Cumbrian Killer and it made me wince at the memories.
