My GPS was the most useful gadget on this trip. It took me to my accommodation at the end of each night without fail.
I'd now like to see if I can produce GPS files like the ones you can download for this trip (click here) for the whole of the National Cycle Network (NCN). I have found the NCN great but poorly signposted. On this trip I had to give up on a NCN route 10 miles north of Glasgow due to poor signage.
The idea would be to produce such files using a PC (ie without actually cycling the routes) and then publish them on a website for cyclists to download. The website would also enable people to submit variations and files generated by actually cycling the routes.
I am currently researching the maps/programs I would need to get this project started.
Have you got any such files? Please comment on this entry if you have. Thanks.
