some modifications: Mapsource doesn't seem to have Cwmystwyth in it's database, so I've added a hotel as the end of the route. The route you have from Hay to Crucorney is a cracker, known as the Golden Valley, but not a pass as such. I've altered the route to include Capel y ffin

Thanks Wessie.
I guess that in the UK I would have to stretch the meaning of "Pass" to either top of a valley,bottom of a valley or across a moor:blast

Please reply GrinningGser!!

GrinningGser, hello there!

Did a click on your link "Gospel Pass" and.... lovely stuff.

But what is this?

I get 'bdcc.co.uk' in the 'properties' of your link and that allows me to access all the maps for UK. Especially the OS maps at 1:50 000.
Great for me planning routes.
Nearest I get to this are small snippets of the OS maps on 'Streetmap.co.uk'

Why should I get this sort of access?? Through your link????

For passes etc, Applecross, Bealach Na Ba gets my vote for more scenic but the Wrynose, Snake pass for sheer technical riding (esp in the wet and thick fog!!)

But here's another Craig O'Mount, East of the famous Spittal of Glenshee, but West of Aberdeen. Some nice hairpins, not many, not steep, but a nice wee part of the world. Edzell to Aboyne
Pop in on Queenie for a cuppa at Balmoral when you get over...........

Just don't ask for me...........

Here's what I mean.....lovely rolling countryside, lots of bends and... yea this is Scotland...no traffic...bliss!

:Motomartin oh yes there was a guy doing this at the top and this was last wknd in September. Those were the days of global warming!

Not like now. -20 C at Braemar!!!:eek

It's not my link, I saw it on this site and it works superbly. It is a caving club and uses Google maps but has greater detail , 1:50,000 ,than usually available on Google Maps or for that matter
any other public mapping site that I have seen

Good for printing maps also.
It is probably a backdoor into a non public site.

Right click on a location and copy the link

Even more useful is that the link uses british national grid

So copy the final SO ***** ***** straight to your zumo and insert a couple of spaces , i.e. **space*****space ***** for a Britsh National Grid waypoint
:D
