Is there a .gpx or .tcx file available for the route? If not is the route the same as last year so I can find it and download it from Strava?
The route is not the same as last year and the changes are significant - particularly the first day and the first part of the second day (kilometres 25-213, 250-310, 448-516 (Lockerbie), 968-986) and the location in Sedbergh of the 'central' control.
https://ridewithgps.com/routes/24491995Andy did not provide a gpx last year. A lot of riders used my RwGPS route in 2017 (as did I).
I have tried to produce the 2018 route on RwGPS and one can easily 'Export' a gpx from that. By all means look, but I suggest you wait a couple of days before doing so.
If riders want to take advantage of my route, if you make a copy now, bear in mind that you'll not benefit from the amendment work I'm doing right now and any changes will not be obvious (to you).
Caveat randonneur.
Edit to add (early 20 Jun): I've now completed the necessary changes.
