  5. You could run it in 2 days or you could comfortably walk it in 6 -8 days.

    It depends on how fast you are at walking Grant.

    Or you could take photos along the way in which case it would take about a month. ;-)

    I walk quite fast Eileen so it shouldn't take that long.

  13. After reading some of your threads, I've realised what a thrilling experience I must be missing out
    on. Where would be the nicest place to take a walk?

    In which case I suggest you use Chapmans Rule rather than Naismiths Rule to work out how long it
    would take:

    One hour for every 4 miles plus 1 hour for every 3000 feet of ascent.

    I can't actually remember what the WHW breaks down to but it could well be something like 96 miles
    and 12000 feet of ascent in which case it should take you 29 hours.

    Wow! A lecturer in a Scottish college that has half a clue, and tells the students to read other
    threads first, in order to get the hang of things, before posting anything themselves. That must be
    a first - most Scottish lecturers are *completely* clueless.

    Next thing you know, there'll be a lecturer that *really* knows what they're doing. One that also
    advises the students to post on a topic that they've chosen for themselves, after going to find a
    group that's appropriate for the chosen topic. (Instead of just picking the same topics out of the
    course assessment materials that have already been picked by thousands of other Scottish students
    over the last few years, and then trying to fake an interest that most regular newsgroup users see
    through instantly.)

    In other words, a lecturer that *really* knew what they were doing would be one that has actually
    read the latest advice from the SQA. The SQA has effectively admitted that the assessment materials
    for this course were badly thought out. They've advised lecturers that "a more open approach would
    be acceptable", rather than telling students to post to this group whether they are interested in
    walking or not. See makeashorterlink.commakeashorterlink.com
