Class D is the easiest (or less difficult  8) ) which is the one i did.

all the class details are here

while class D was a mere  ::)  1430m ascent over 30.6km, it felt a lot more, navigation mistakes add to the totals and some of the terrain is boggy untracked routes, so if you haven't done it before, start with class D  ;)

class C was only 3km longer and 250m more ascent, but due to more difficult routes that added an estimated  extra 2-3 hrs each day over class D  :o

Feet in the Clouds is a great book, one iof the first mountain books i've read, probably due a re-read by now.
