WRT Route Needed

Hoojum · Post by **Hoojum** » Tue Apr 28, 2015 8:28 pm

Once again no navigational preparation has occurred and I'm without a route for the WRT. Last year FantasticMrMatt shared his route with me and Stu gave me a great route the year before. To some this may sound like I've missed half the fun of the event but in reality I prefer the riding and bivying over route planning.

So would any kind soul care to share there route and send me a gpx file to load onto my borrowed Garmin? I promise I won't hold it against them if I end up knee deep in a bog.

I'll be honest, I haven't made a route yet either ;-)

I have printed a map with the points on it though, and Bothies locations!

I should have a partner in crime route planning though apparently, otherwise we're winging it :-D

Sorry, can't help you with gpx. I'm a bit of a luddite, I've joined some dots and done some colouring on paper maps so, armed with them, my memory, and a sense of adventure, I may or may not complete a ride resembling my planned route. Enjoy

I'll sort you out with something ... I'll fire a gpx across tomorrow.

Would I be really rude to ask if you could please send me the same route as well? I'm a lazy *ugg*r

Top man Stu. I gotta say the best WRT, riding wise, was 2013 when I followed a route of yours and just enjoyed the ride.

Did somebody say a free GPX download?

Oh god what have I done??
I'll have to check for HAB on google earth before we depart

Many thanks though Stu, your local knowledge is much appreciated!

I'm going to avoid looking at any other routes. I quite like the route I've setup for myself and I don't want to start second guessing things.

From experience:
special = tussocks
really = lots

Nathan / Ben ... you should both now have a route. Roughly 150km and 3500m ascent.
