I attempted Cardiac Hill in it's entirety last night for the first time. Ouch. Particularly in the pouring rain.

I've never seen Cardiac but I'm living in Birks next year, How steep is it? like if you were on a treadmill, what level elevation would you put it on?

No idea about a treadmill but it's a rise of 26 metres in elevation over approximately 180 metres in distance. According to Google Earth.

Cardiac's been closed all this year for the building at Birks; you go up Fairy Steps instead. Which are frankly a damn sight easier to walk up than Cardiac ever was, though I've no idea technically how steep they are. I think it's still the same as that at the moment and then Cardiac proper re-opens when it's all done...

is that a longer way round?

Not really; it's just up and along rather than along and up, if that makes sense...

The fairy steps are the ones near duryard right? They are so much nicer! I actually kinda miss cardiac now...such good exercise!

Yeah, the steps just at that end of campus, before you go along the little road that leads to Moberly/the Catholic chaplaincy. They've done them up a bit and put in a handrail.
