I guess it is a matter of perspective. I mean, is this a "wow, you're in great shape" or a "dear gods, Kilimanjaro is set to claim more lives" situation?
On a more serious note though, love the Peaks. Me and the missus walked along Stanage Edge a few weeks back. Unexpected sunburns, but so worth it. Yorkshire is God's Country.
Haha, I think it's a "I'm fitter than I thought, which is great" but also a "they have a good few months of training yet and are going with experienced folks, I'm sure they'll be fine".
Walked up Stanage Edge the week before, as it happens! Lovely spot

I grew up that side of Sheffield so it's only about twenty minutes from where my Dad lives.
