Not for one minute pretending to know any better than anyone else who has posted excellent advice and agree with previous posters......for me you need to double /treble or even quadruple time allowed to complete your walk. Forget 4 k per hour naismith. ....more like 1 k or 500m or less per hour in full Scottish hoolie forget timing better pacing steps if your brain dosnt freeze....use beads / toggles on a string to count every 100m...
Coby Your quite right. I was out on the moor again today. A lot more snow, though melting, on all but the highest slopes. It took me 4 hours, with stops, to cover 6 miles and 450m of assent. I have done that route in 2.5 in more amiable conditions.
Much easier on Thursday when it was just frozen solid with little snow.
