Funny how the brain works... Was watching a video about hiking in Yosemite (a place I always fancied exploring). Chap says it's a 14 mile hike in total. I instantly am calculating this in units I can relate to, ie kilometers. I do the same if somebody quotes a peak height in feet. Feet ?? Wonder if anyone has researched this, how long it takes. https://www.nps.gov/yose/index.htm Edited on 18/07/2026 at 09:59:09.
