feet:
The 11-12 split includes water/food time and the distance includes getting across the road.
The most popular route 23-24 is about 1385m with 50m climb (straight has only 70m).
26-27 is measured as drawn, not straight line.
Climb (on my route):
55 10 40 5 85 5 5 25 20 35 10 exchange 35 0 5 10 55 5 50 20 65 55 5 20 50 15 10 0 5 = 700m

Routes: straight to 1, left trail to 2, left to 3, major trail to 5, left to 6, straight to 7, trail to 8, up the re-entrant and straight to 9, trail to stone wall then straight to 10, right trails to 11, trails to 16, path on right to 17, left using the trail but mostly straight to 18 (horrible forest), straight to 19, roads to 20, basically straight to 21, trails to 22, straight to 23, left to 24, then straight. The ones I think are bad: 17-18 would be faster on the trails to the right of the line, 22-23 faster to the left or right round the green. And I should eat less and tie my shoelaces less.
