I ask because yesterday's event at Burbage Moor would be an example of where the comparison could not be made across courses: some visited the deep heather in the north east, others did not, this must have had a significant impact on mins pkm.
Yes, was amazed at the difference between M50L (course 3) and M55L (course 4) courses on RG at Burbage. I staggered swearing through the thigh-high heathertowards the end of course 3 and was still in in the top-half for those particular (bingo) controls.

I cannot comment about the south-west of the map heavily used by course 4 as course 3 did not go anywhere near - perhaps it all evened out.
