It's quite hard to pitch the difficulty
Anyway, I enjoyed it but I was on the winning team. Thanks Cheque and Dave.

With a promise to include some Hillwalking questions.
Round 2: Stars in their GuidesAccording to the current definitive guides, there's only one 3 star Diff in the Peak. At which crag is it located?Black Rocks?Again according to the current definitive guides, Stanage is the crag with the most three star E1s. Which crag has the second most?Millstone?Again according to the current definitive guides, only one crag has five 3 star E5s. Which one?The Roaches?
somewhere completely obscure and random
The E5s must be High Tor?
Is the Diff the Roaches (Inverted Staircase)?
And I'll fire Standing Stones in for the E1s?
So E5s are the Roaches
Diff is Boomerang at Ramshaw
Are the E5s at Wimberry?

Millstone?
The easiest way up Tegness Pinnacle.
Going to guess at Witness the Churnetness for the Churnet bold star one.
Round 5: "You're calling it what?!"What does Quien Sabe mean?
does the Maynard have phone reception?
