Can you do it electronically, then you can send the route out in advance.

Suppose I could map something using google earth

Set up a free account on Viewranger. It works more or less the same as memory map. You can save files in gpx format which allows you to email them to us with memory map

Simple and free

I'm preferring the look on google maps as I can even map the elevation changes but I shall try it

Leaders need the route in a format they can load onto their phone/laptops/tablets etc. Needs to be gpx, its the only one that everything accepts.

whatever happened to using paper maps I can print A3 and send google map pages!


Just been trying to use that site and it kept trying to make a complete loop out of the greenlanes I was marking

Full now doc, you going for a reserve list or 4 groups

That filled up fast.

Reserve 3 groups is plenty already!


I've found out how to do it……I'm looking on google maps then swapping over and finding the same point on that thing don't know how to edit the route either which is a pain but meh!


Got two nice easy lanes on it to start with, drive over a fell and up some nice scenic areas following then thinking up the ante and go for some harder stuff

Not just because of the laning

We all want to see the if the Docs landy actually runs.

Note that as I'm the PA I haven't put myself in his group, I remember the non running engine, the fact that it weighs about 4 tonnes and has no articulation or axle travel (I think I've got that right)

You usually edit routes by right clicking on the waypoints and then add or delete waypoints.

Yeah but I cant splice them together like I can on google means I actually need to know where I'm going rather than make them up then find the roads to join them!

But it doesn't need articulation with 35" tyres
