are you doing these journeys in one day or do you want suggestions of scenic areas to travel through over a few days?

South: day 1 https://goo.gl/maps/zGnBRLo5H6ZTv8o29 - wiggle through the Borders, Pennines and Dales to Reeth, stay in the Black Bull or Kings Arms and sample some Yorkshire Ale.

Hope wessie doesn't mind me adding a small refinement at the end of Day 3. Avoid the busy M3/M27 by taking the A272 through the South Downs and then the A3(M) to Portsmouth https://goo.gl/maps/QbLTa81dwFk4XHZT8 |

Zitat von Ali-bear im Beitrag #6 I was thinking just that as I do that when heading to Portsmouth. |

Zitat von Ali-bear im Beitrag #6 I occasionally take that route as my adult son lives at the bottom end of the A3(M) in Bedhampton. Used to use it a lot when he was a kid, when the Krusties were delaying the M3 build. I might use it on 27 April as I am heading for the Travelodge to get an early ferry on the 28th for a week in Brittany & Normandy. I got lazy when calculating the route and just let google plot it after the White Horse. OP will need to tweak depending on the ferry departure time etc. There's a nice viewpoint over Portsmouth at the top of Portsdown Hill if the OP has time to take in some sightseeing https://goo.gl/maps/jai6VPqFsoMmbg1Q8 - Mick's Burgers are pretty good and certainly better than anything at the dreadful Loomies on the A272

First time I have seen Google Maps produce routes like that so very interesting, thank you. My knowledge is limited to Apple Maps and the iPhone link to my VW van, which won't play Google Maps, and for the bike it is Garmin Base Camp routes downloaded to the Nav 6. |

Zitat von sunshine247 im Beitrag #9 there are a number of websites that will convert a google maps link to a GPX file (and other formats) last time I did this I used GPS Visualiser but not for some time. I have a Garmin but rarely use Basecamp. I plot the routes on google and then use the app on the Zumo 390 to create them. This way, you know you have the right route and less likely to have some recalculation in the conversion. On a trip away, I have an Android tablet which will not talk to the Zumo so I have become very proficient knocking up a route using this method, especially a day trip from abase hotel in Europe when the travel is determined by local weather. https://www.google.com/search?q=convert+...chrome&ie=UTF-8 will find a number of utilities to do the conversion. Have a play, you won't break anything. GPS Visualiser is listed if you scroll down so it is still going which is an indication people are using it! Spam goes here |
