HK and I have finally decided that next year will be 'der Tag' for us and the SR600 (how many years has it taken?).
I am a big bloke and not a natural climber, so to maximise enjoyment, it'll help if:
- the descents allow real time gains, rather than riding the brakes
- the climbs are long and steady, rather than short and steep
- conditions tend to be dry and not too hot sometime between June and September
- there are some stunning views

The new Welsh SR600 is out. That many Welsh climbs in one hit doesn't appeal to us.
Amongst the high mountains, HK thinks that the Alps might be best for us, as the Dolomites tend to be wet and the Pyrenees steeper, while there is a lot of food/ accommodation at frequent intervals in the Alps.
Any thoughts or suggestions?
