Nice one!

We've certainly had a lot of demand every month or so someone replies to the old thread begging for it to be returned! ;)

Post by: Mono @Wideopenmag.co.uk on March 14, 2008, 20:24:22 PM
I just thought I'd say, there are a few places not on there that I can think of, is it still possible to mod the pack with new locations and update it through this thread?

Post by: havinalaff on March 14, 2008, 20:31:51 PM

Great map!!
Makes it much easier to find tracks and plan some road trips now.
If you wouldnt mind could you add wentwood onto that map?

Post by: Mono @Wideopenmag.co.uk on March 14, 2008, 23:52:49 PM
Just thought it would be good if you could let one of us mods know how to do it then we could keep it going if you don't ride anymore!

It certainly is good of you to do it though.

Was just having a browse and i realised that there were some 4x tracks listed. Also realised hornton hill was near me and then trying to search the website and googling the place it appears as though it has closed so it may be worth removing it. Dont know if anybody can confirm this

Seeing as we appear to be covering bike parks and 4x i guess  we may as well add chicksands to that list so -
Chicksands (Rowney Warren woods)
http://www.chicksandsbikepark.co.uk/
 52° 3'41.80"N
  0°22'25.25"W

Coordinates are for the car park, riding just over the road in the woods.


Title: Re: DH Locations MAP for Google Earth ALL UPDATES TO BE REQUESTED BY END SUNDAY
Post by: havinalaff on March 16, 2008, 17:36:09 PM
All added, Triscombe already added

And I still want some of this good Karma Malarky.

Read the first page of the topic, the file is there to download. HOWEVER do not download it yet as it is not the one with all of the updates that I have made. It will be amended tomorrow.

Aren't we missing Glentress? And also Calton Bank and Silton DH in the North East.
Sorry I don't know the locations tho, expect for Calton Bank,  54°25'22.83"N, 1°10'38.90"W, not sure about the exact restricts there now tho.  :-\

Also if the file is not around again in a while can anyone host it?

Is it something SDH could host?

I don't mean to be rude, but there not much point in putting a file up a short time and it then disappearing, cos how many people are gonna come along and think "that looks really useful, o great I can't download it, thanks".

Or is this another cause of implied 'responsibility' for the people providing information about riding, rather than the people doing the riding?  ::)  :P

It's for Google Earth matey, once you have it you can download the file on the previous page and it will open in Google Earth with the locations of the tracks.
