    And none of them are a real 'challenge', it's all in a days work and what they were designed for.

    Put a few more on the hook & it might give the Duchess a bit of a challenge ! But otherwise, it should breeze it !

    Well she took the equivalent of 16 over Shap a couple of years back and still topped the summit in the 20s.
