This is simply for my records, to put the info somewhere that is accessible for next time, and because it’s a rest day and I’m bored, and because it’s grotty weather out, and because yesterday was the first day I was allowed play with Mr Garmin. The screen shots are crap – I must find a better way using the uploader we’ve got.

Mark asked me if we didn’t climb. Hrrmp. He pointed out where he and Beth walked and said you could see how it climbed. But he thought the satellite photo made it appear as if we were in the valley.
Your altitude map and my own are very similar. Just toward the end they differ. My altitude is off my watch not via the GPS so since yours came and went a bit towards the end my altitude map *might* be more accurate where the two differ.
Thanks for all the info

It breaks my heart to analyse it really! Up until now, I’ve always assured myself that tracks are a heap slower than road, but its not until you actually see it in black and white… I mean, 2.47km of predominantly downhill in 22 minutes!! If there wasn’t so much bottom sliding going on, it would read a lot better.

My opinion (FWIW) is the downhill stuff was more difficult than the uphill. That’s why I “complained” about wanting to run. There was very little running between Pinnacles Hut and the car park (for me anyway).
