62–74 km/h 17.2–20.7 m/s 18–25 ft 5.5–7.5 m Moderately high waves of greater length; edges of crests break into spindrift; foam is blown in well-marked streaks along the direction of the wind Twigs break off trees; generally impedes progress 9 Strong/severe gale 41–47 knots 47–54 mph 75–88 km/h 20.8–24.4 m/s 23–32 ft 7–10 m
So, for example, if a route is 20 kilometres (12 mi) with 1600 metres of climb (as is the case on leg 1 of the Bob Graham Round, Keswick to Threlkeld), the equivalent flat distance of this route is 20+(1.6×8)=32.8 kilometres (20.4 mi). Assuming an individual can maintain a speed on the flat of 5 km/h, the route will take 6 hours and 34 minutes.

Légua of 20 to a degree (Maritime légua) = 5,555.56 metres; Légua of 25 to a degree = 4,444.44 metres; The names of the several léguas referred to the number of units that made the length corresponding to an angle degree of a meridian arc. For compatibility after Portugal adopted the metric system, the metric légua of 5.0 km was used.
