Haha, you'll get used to it...(hopefully!)
Having gotten here I've figured it's pretty much the same as the hill I've been walking up everyday for the past seven years, so I'm not too fussed :wink: It's about twice the height though - this could be difficult.... :biggrin:

Heh, got out of bed this morning my legs were like "What the hell did you do to me?!"

It's the cliff from hell. I get puffy on gentle hills, and Cardiac hill is as close to a ninety degree angle as a hill can be before grauduating to cliff status.

I'm not looking forward to heaving Literray Theory: An Anothology up that every morning!

Just done my 4th climb...Im not looking forward to the 9am lectures...
I made a bad mistake today..I walked up the hill on a full stomach. Never doing THAT again...

Its been 3 days and 5 times hiking up the dreaded mountain, :eek:

however what i am finding most difficult and embarrassing is my attempt at going down the hill

wet, lots of leaves and 90 degree angle = me falling on my bum :redface: whilst trying to keep control of an umbrella with a mind of it's own (no one told me about the crazed gale force winds!:s-smilie:)

No one believes the legends about Cardiac Hill until they get there and realise it's all true :p::biggrin:

Dont they 'close' it in winter?
None of you guys know about the 2 'long cuts' then?

As in go around the edge of campus [effectively] along past the impy? I guess the other is going the other way around - up past duryard? They take so much more time its better to go cardiac...
There is a muddy path that runs parallel to cardiac just after the cut through to Duryard (walking away from cardic). Can be iffy if wet but in teh summer its so much easier.

Otherwise you can cut through the council estate opposite Moberly and go up the hill that way.

Both are so much easier than Cardiac, i've only been up it a couple of times and that was only cos i was running late.

where about are they on there?
It isn't because they are only footpaths. I've drawn a different map, red lines are the route and the green box is birks.

Oh right..I think I might still go via cardiac - I dont like feeling like Ive doubled up on myself...

true, but if you live in moberly, it's far quicker through the council estate!

I am SO glad I don't have to do Cardiac Hill too much...All but one of my lectures start at 9am, so that would not have been fun!
