Yesterday I did 3peaker's Cotswold, Canals and Cheddar 300. Bristol start. My first proper perm with a bag full of receipts.
Felt quite rough to start with - I think I was fighting off the vomiting bug that child A had on Friday, but - onwards and upwards!
Then, due entirely to my own incompetence, I hadn't noticed that the gps track truncated at about 240km in Trowbridge. Too many points I think, which is not a problem I've had before, but I haven't done many 300s. I blame the small screen on the Etrex 20...
Anyhoo - I learned all about the 'navigate to' function. The Etrex doesn't recognise Wells, but I found an address in Wells with my phone, and the Etrex found that. From there on I knew the way. I even got a (modest) PR up cheddar gorge.
I got back to the start at 01:30 on 314km, so had a little trip round the block to bring it up to 321 point something km. Then strava nicked a couple of km when I uploaded it, so I still didn't quite make it to 200 miles
