Description

I planned this well known route using an OS 1:50,000 map printed from the computer.
I marked kilometres on this familiar route and as I walked checked these against my Garmin watch to check I had measured correctly on the map using my Roma scale on side of compass.
I was a few metres short on one and so I used the linear feature of a road to check I was in the correct place.
I found this a very useful for really changing my way of thinking from miles to kilometres. It is definitely more difficult to measure distance on a curved track or path.
Total distance covered 4.64km
