RE: Fit, or Fit for the Purpose
Just for information, in mountaineering/hillwalking terms (and that's generally quite rough ground,) a fit person with a pack is estimated to cover the ground at 3mph/5kph (20 min per mile/12 min per km). This formula is used to estimate distances achievable, time to objective and in micro-nav in poor visibility, as a measure of short stages following a bearing.
There's an addition to that, adding 1 min per contour climbed...
No, that's not right... 1 min per 50' height gain? Damn - it's been a while!
Sod it - see Glenmore Lodge for the height gain bit...
