Imperial vs Metric
Why are the units of distance in this article all given in metric and then Imperial?

As a British walker, I don't know anyone who says they have just trekked such and such kilometres. We use miles in Britain.

As a UK article, the WP:MoS states that Imperial units should be given precedence. I feel that this article has been manipulated by non-British editors to fit their views.

The measurements contained in this article are meaningless. The UK does not state distances in Km!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.155.56.76 (talk) 19:49, 22 December 2009 (UTC)


 * When I started this article back in 2006 I did include the distances primarily in miles. However, the council has (since at least 2006) officially listed the distances primarily in kilometres, and the recently installed 'milestones' give the distance purely in kilometres, as the photograph shows. I'm not sure which is most useful to readers -- any other opinions?


 * Personally, I don't mind as long as both are stated, but I do particularly dislike the autoconvert function's use of 'mi' for miles -- I will try to change the default for this, if it's possible. Espresso Addict (talk) 23:03, 23 April 2010 (UTC)
