Roo the link does not show the route it's just the map

if you look at the link its not including the numbers at the end, so i suggest you copy and paste the whole url in the address bar and use it that way

Evening every one.
I hate computers :oops: they never seem to do what I want having spent the last hour trying to put a post on the Slow Rides facebook page.
You may be aware that Rich and I were trying to get some group T shirts made up well on the facebook page are some photos of the end result.
These are coolmax material T shirts with vented side panels and blue piping, the one i'm modelling, I know don't give up the day job, is a medium it has good length so won't ride up your back when grunting uphill, they seem to be OK quality being very lightweight and with a nice silky feel, they work out at £15 each if any one wants to buy one.
I'm looking to place a bulk order but they won't be ready in time for the ride on the 27th, allthough you can grope mine on the day if you want to feel the quality
Let me know what the interest is, and if any clever person wants to post the pictures to this page then please feel free.

According to the map you're going past the Dam at the south end of Ladybower, steeply down to the right to ride back uphill past the other end of the Dam, when you should be going right across the top of the Dam (says riders should dismount as this part is footpath).

You have also come off the concessionary bridleway through Wiseman Hey Clough too early for the final part of the climb up onto the top, you should be coming up Wooler Knoll and then you have come off the Beast onto the footpath that I suggested as an alternative for anyone who doesn't fancy it.

Have you put an additional loop onto it cos the route you pasted originally didn't go own Hagg Side....?

kangaroo

im not sure what you mean with the directions can you draw it if you use bing you can switch to os mapping and dont forget to go to the properties of your route and click on the share button

the hagg side thing is the climb at the beginging of the route, we did this first part of the route the very first time i went to the peaks. hagg side is a bit of a climb but its not that long and it means your straight into the fun stuff

yep ive added a extra loop up to hagg farm and down lockerbrook to finish

I thought you were starting at Fairholmes, going East and up to Whinstone Lee Tor first?

kangaroo

thought it would be more fun to do it this way around
it does mean you get to do lockerbrook twice or cut it short after the beast (or singletack) and head back on the road

I hate Bing maps Roo, it keeps clearing my route half way through drawing it. I'll try to scan the OS map in (or sections of it) and send it to you if you PM me your email address.

As I was just having this one done to see how the printing worked I didn't bother with the back, also we didn't seem to get any real concensus as to waht should be on the back MBR or Face Book, what about copyright with using MBR?
Don't think it matters with Face Book as it's a pretty much a public domain.

Nalla, thanks for linking the piccies

I thought we were doing the BikeRadar logo on the back? Oh well, nemind. I think I'll be placing an order for one in a larger size and then I'll have a go at customising it.....

I'm thinking the BikeRadar logo with my forum name on the back along the hem line...

Cheshley

Not sure if I'll be about later guys, I can barely keep my eyes open ad it's only just gone 3pm!!!!

Roo, did you get the email and links to the maps I did? If you still need help with the route txt me and I'll see what I can do with the OS map tomorrow.

Hope everyone is OK and thanks for your messages and good wishes about my glass back.
