Hilliness - Top ten

Encouraged only a little by a comment from Ruth (I didn't need much encouragement): here are the top ten hilly days on my whole journey round the coast so far...  (click on the "where exactly" link to relive my pain - actually - mainly for my enjoyment)

Only three hilliness factors in the "Ridiculous" (280%+) category so far.  All the others are only "Extremely Hilly".  I hope it stays that way.

Just out of interest,  (ok, mainly my interest), here is the average hilliness for each of the years so far:


2013 London-Inverness 81%
2014 Inverness-Ullapool + Shetlands,Orkney 182%
2015 Ullapool-Kyle of Lochalsh & Outer Hebrides 174%
2016 Skye, Mull & to Oban 217%
2017 Oban-Glasgow + Arran, Islay, Jura, Bute 164%
2018 Glasgow-Warrington 104%
2019 Warrington-Fishguard + IoM 176%
