Haircut

Saturday's walk told me some useful things. First up, St Catherine's Hill is steeper than I remember. Second up, it does have 324 steps up one side. Third up, I desperately need a haircut. The last part of that has been, somewhat brutally, dealt with. The rest of it is something I have to live with.

So, 67m from bottom to top. Realistically, I want to be doing that 10+ times during a hike to get some upwards miles into my legs. On Saturday I did 3. So going to aim for 4 or 5 next time and see how far I get.

EDIT: turns out my mapping app supports capturing vertical gain during a trip and that, all told, I did 357m of vertical elevation gain on Saturday. Which I'm feeling a lot happier about. 357m is a much better place to start. We can work with that.
