Wainwright’s Coast to Coast Walk – GPS related

Monday, March 5th, 2007

Ok, I did offer to do this – so here goes.

I am listing a few files that I have found +/- altered +/- dreamt up from the web that MAY be of use to Coast to coast (c2c) walkers.

In particular I have a list of 514 GPSr waypoints (!) that I have recently modified from the “original” posting. These are in GPX format and SHOULD work with almost any program that accepts GPX (which I think is almost all of ‘em!) Credit for these points must go to several people :-

John Ledger – original author of the points
Guy Wilson – who apparently made them available on the web
“Canmal” and “Rick F” – who posted a compiled GPX file for general use which was subsequently hosted by Lone Walker at his website – Make sure you have a look at all his C2C resources!

I have been collecting C2C info in anticipation of my walk, and will shortly add some other data to this site – watch out for a complete GPS “Track” split into usable sections to keep you company on the walk!

I also hope to “record” the entire walk on my own unit and will subsequently post the Track logs for those interested.

So much done. so little mentioned!

AHHHHHHHHHH – Well I guess I missed a chance to tell you all we have been doing…..Lord Howe island, Diving in New Guinea, Walking in Tasmania and New Zealand… you get the picture.

I WILL retrospectively make the changes – hope you forgive me :-) if not :-p
