I hope the guidelines will be respected .

It turns out that 5 miles is not the same in rural areas as it is in cities... https://www.vimeo.com/421106922.

The Lakes are a good place to start - lots of routes and many are escapable and not too long. You need to learn how to control your body weight with your feet, hands and general balance. This takes practice but is a perfectly natural process - human beings learn how to keep themselves safe pretty qu...

I think it's fair to say that using metric units for hill lists which are based on imperial parameters is a bit untidy. Indeed, mixing the two is usually considered to be pretty poor practice. However, the reality is that the metric system is considerably easier to understand than imperial and is mo...
