FFS Rich!

Phil, if you were driving down during this morning’s deluge it must have been grim

Yup perfect timing as usual. At least cars have roofs and radios

1.6kg of food packed just in case. I'll probably lug at least half of that around the full route and not eat it.

Departing Manchester for The Penrhos Arms in about 30 minutes.

I'm coming down in emotional support mode (old man knee issues) for Liz and her BB300 attempt.

Anyone have a link to a vid or something on how to use the GPX on a Garmin etrex 30

Took me all week to find the damn thing

Just plug the gps into a 'outer and drag the file into the garmin/nav directory and you should be good to go.
