Wainwright’s Coast to Coast - GPS Tracks

As promised, here are the GPS tracks that I have CREATED of the “Wainwright’s” Coast to coast track in the UK.

Please note that these are from calibrated maps, NOT from an actual logged walk (yet….). Therefore, they are inherently inaccurate - how inaccurate? I’ll let you know when I get back from doing the walk in May 2007. Hopefully I will have the actual logged tracks to offer at that time!

The files are compressed into a ZIP file. There are multiple GPX files within, separating the tracks into manageable lengths. There is also the combined tracks in a single GPX file included. It makes negligible difference to the total file size IMHO :)

Please read the included TXT file. It includes important information about the tracks.

The File:

Enjoy! Please let me know if you think they are grossly inaccurate or can be easily improved. Also, I would appreciate knowing if there are any difficulties using them.

Edit:- I have amended the file to include the Swaledale river-side alternative on the Keld to Reethe section. Also corrected some of the notes - Thanks to  Happy Rambler

    hi
    am doing ctoc this summer starting in June 18 orso and will be usiing an etrex vist cx as gps. How do i go about importing the waypoints you kindly have provided from a pc? I intend to use a paper map for navigation but am going to be using the gps to see how much more (or less) useful it is than a map.

    Hi Tim,
    Importing is easy - your etrex should come with Trip and Waypoint manager software and a USB data cable. The software can open the files I have provided and can download them to your GPS.
    Also lots of free ware around to do the same thing. If you don’t get a cable - look on e bay - there are hundreds of ‘em :-)
    Enjoy the C2C!

    (BTW the above files are TRACKS not WAYPOINTS - the Waypoints are in the other post :D )

    I’d love to host a copy of GPX routes for C2C on the members section of my website.

    Hi Tim,

    I read your posts on the Walking Places Forum.
    Pretty odd to ask an Aussie for help from someone who lives at the other side of the world on a walking adventure in the UK.

    Can I ask you for help/advice regarding some gps-navigating issues I have please?
    We’re planning to walk the C2C this June.

    Best regards,
    Pieter
    the Netherlands
