Getting Technical:

For those that are interested Maps were planned on Google and then exported to .kml files by adding the GMapToGPX at this site http://www.elsewhere.org/journal/gmaptogpx/ to my bookmarks bar on firefox. Clicking the bookmark when looking at the google my maps page gives a pop up to export the .kml file.

I then imported them into www.gpsies.com track creator. This shows you the hills you will encounter!!

Exporting from gpsies gives you a .gpx route. I have imported these routes into an app called Osmand+ on my android. This satnav type app gives offline access to open street maps so I can hopefully navigate the trip without paper!
