Map and navigation

The line on the map is the GPX from the day, so it is the route as actually walked. You will not find numbered directions telling you to bear left at the third gate.

That is on purpose. This is not about telling you where to go. It is about sharing a route that works with a dog, and getting you out to explore it yourself.

Write-up coming soon

The route is here and so is the GPX, but the words are not written yet. Everything on this page is recorded: the line on the map is the track from the day, the photographs are pinned where they were taken, and the numbers come off the GPS.

What is missing is the part worth reading. That comes when Nick gets to it.
