"That Hill" from the harbour to the Moonlight Bar
« on: June 26, 2012, 05:23:50 PM »
Whilst undertaking some gentle exercise in the gym this morning  :angel: it occurred to me that perhaps I had better shape up for That Hill :o I wondered if anyone knows what the gradient might be?  I can then try and tailor the tread mill just to have some practise.
Thanks for any help and yes I know it's very steep!!

Not sure how accurate but a quick look at google earth shows that for the main 50M part of 'That Hill' you climb approx 10M so as Gradient = vertical gain / horizontal distance , 10/50 = .2 or 20% most treadmills max out at 15-18% but be very careful as training at gradients increases the risk of injury and 'That Hill' would be even harder on crutches!

 

I have a very responsible position...
When anything goes wrong I’m responsible!!

In preparation you should choose one of our hills in Yorkshire. I'm willing to be your personal trainer and will only charge you 50% of your current gym fees. Can't say fairer than that.

My dog an I - Moses the Labradoodle - regularly treck up one in four gradients and quite often make good progress especially if I give the command "squirrel", "cat" or "rabbit" (it can be especially quick when going downhill).

After that the hill in question will appear as just a gentle slope.

We find Moel Famau is good practice, here in North Wales :)
Cardiac Hill is far worse than this one though...especially the extended version up to the Samira Gardens...this is the mother of all hills in Kalkan ;)
Better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid than to open it and remove all doubt :)

I avoid Cardiac Hill tend to go up a bit behind Pirat along a bit up a bit etc. Seems best :o Thanks for offer Popps if I lived closer would take you up on it as it is I live in Leicester and due to being over 60 the gym is free :) Hobbo thanks for your research on Google I'll have to rethink treadmill and will seek assistance from gym staff. Thanks all for your help and hope your toe is getting better K4E. Cheers Toni

Found that zigzagging is the best policy every time!!!!!!! Sorry all you treckers.

And of course by zigzagging you must be walking further, allowing a drink at Moonlight as a reward. ;)
