Drum roll ... WRT GR.

Post by Bearbonesnorm »

This years WRT GR have left the building. If you entered, they should be landing in your inbox sometime today, however if they don't ......

1/ Think long and hard about whether you actually entered or just meant to.

2/ Go and have a look in your spam folder.

3/ Go and have a look in the spam folders of all your email accounts including those you never use and the one that's set up to paypal.

4/ Did someone else enter on your behalf or did you use a paypal account belonging to someone else?

If there's still nothing after following the above steps, email me and I'll forward them to you.

Happy Mapping :-bd

Exciting!

Got the email, but haven't got the maps out yet. Which rough area are they heading in?

Kind of south.

This year's about options and choice, so there's quite a number covering a pretty big area.

Great for stuff and places I don't go to regularly.

840516..... arg..nooooo.. nearly my last resting place.

Loving all the different options and possibilities, thank you for your efforts with it all. Glad to see some good downhills, cafes, pubs, red kites, butterflies, and yes even a cooling paddle with an ice-cream can be shoehorned into it. If you're happy for me to open an LHC thread, will do so shortly but will PM you first to check a few things if I may please.

I put all of the GRs into this and then export to GPSies (Edit - Hmm... that hasn't worked well this time. I'm sure it used to add them as waypoints).

I think I'll be filling out some of my missing squares (Veloviewer explorer), even if it means going up stupid hills only to cycle back down them again. :lol:

A full 48 hours and no one's posted to say - "I've worked my route out, it takes in all the GR, is 170km long and contains 4322m of ascent". Standards appear to be slipping :wink: I also think we may have also managed to avoid any GR in the Irish sea this year :-bd
