Hi, does anyone know how much climbing in feet or metres is actually involved in the red route - I am trying to gauge my fitness (or lack of it) against longer days in the saddle and was curious if anyone has actually measured this.

cheers

With a couple of small detours onto some extra bits, about 2,700 feet over the whole route

BinB - I take it you did Zoom or bust (+about 200ft climbing) and back up to do berm baby berm and the blue return from Buzzards next (+about 300ft climbing). Maybe a bit more playing about too.

So I'd say that the full red is more like 2000ft (600m) climbing

550m IIRC. Easy to do more by doing a couple of circuits back up to the Freeride Park or by doing Berm Baby Burn (which is brilliant) and climbing back up to do Pennels Vennel.
