Does Total Ascent mean the Total Ascent?
Q. Hello
Can you please just clarify the 'total ascent' number for each walk?
Am I correct in thinking this is the total cumulative ascent.
For example an ascent from 0 to 100m followed by a descent from 100m to 20m and a further ascent from 20m to 220m would give total ascent of 300m (100+200) but the highest point reached would be 220m?
I was just trying to cross check the total ascent number with the walk profile.
Thanks,
Doug Thom
A. Err . . . yes.
