[QUOTE="Rick of Rick and Peg, post: 746539, member: 51912"] In my 2015 Brierley guide for the CF he gives you both. He doesn't measure the slopes though; he gives an additional equivalent distance. He uses the modified rule to find the time needed to do the uphill elevation portion of each section and then figures if you walk at 3 kph (not 5 kph) for that many hours what distance would be covered and then adds that to the horizontal distance to get an equivalent distance. He gives the horizontal distance at the top of the first page for each section and a bit below next to a mountain range icon the equivalent distance. Example for a 20 km horizontal section with 600 m of uphill: Naismith says the uphill portion of the walk will add an hour to your completion time. Brierley says that an hour at 3 kph will cover 3 km. So his equivalent distance is 20 + 3 = 23 km. By the way, Brierley considers Naismith's 5 kph a fast pace. He considers 4 kph a moderate pace. I think I'm a fast walker (but [B]we[/B] are slow :( ) and a 10 km, 2 hour walk recently got my heart pounding. So consider that when using Naismith's rule. I did an estimate of how measuring the slope of Route Napoleon would compare to the horizontal distance and got less than 1% difference. (20,500m horizontal, 1,400m elevation change; as an exercise you figure the length of the hypotenuse.) [/QUOTE]
