Eric's stats are a combination of cycle computer and GPS. For distance they agreed within 1%. Height is from the altimeter built into the GPS which can be a bit variable, although the height on the top of Drumochter was spot on. I never reset the barometer throughout the trip.
Sandy's stats are off his computer and GPS. He was working in kilometres and was reading slightly higher than me. His moving times are a bit less cos he was going quicker than me most of the time :-).
