The shortest route for
Gold medal standard is around 150 miles, but your choices of Waypoints
may lead to a longer ride.
You will notice that
some points are designated “RE” – this means they are “Ragged Edge”
Waypoints
They are paired with a
number without this prefix – these points are for thosenot attempting
the “Ragged Edge”
You are welcome to
plan and record visits to both these Waypoints, but only one of them will
count towards your final medal score.
SATNAVS are allowed
along with mobile phone apps
Our intention is to
make the waypoints as easy to find as possible.
If you are in the
right place, they will be easily visible from your motorcycle.
If you find yourself
looking under benches, or worse still in someone’s garden – you
are definitely in the wrong place!
All “Ragged Edge”
points are sited on legal or permitted rights of way
They will normally be
passable on ordinary motorcycles on road tyres
You do not need to be
an off-road specialist or mounted on an off-road machine to ride these
roads.
If there any issues
created by extreme weather, you will be notified before the start
We have noticed that
some of the satnav feeder programmes (e.g. My route App) contain errors
and may direct you down non-existent roads. You should check your planned
routes carefully.
If you are heading
from waypoint 8 to Waypoint 27 you may be directed down a farm track and
footpath heading SW from Perrystone estate farm (OS sheet 149
625296 Lat & Long deciminutes 51.964188, -2.5484248). This
is not a public right of way and ends in a
footpath with stiles! Please do not attempt to take this route. We will
place “NO ENTRY” signs at Perrystone.
Ordnance Survey maps
are the definitive data source.
The better your route
planning – the more enjoyable your day will be. Remember the 7”Ps”!
