This is a French / Belgium route that takes in some things to see, which I have now created in BaseCamp. It's part of a whole touristy thing put together by the region's tourist board and one of a series of variously themed rides or drives in France / Belgium.

The route is hosted on Dropbox as a .gpx file, created on a Mac. When downloaded it should open straight up in BaseCamp or in Mapsource. Anyone using a Mac might find that it opens as a load of words in a text file. Do not panic! For some unknown reason the original .gpx file can gain a .txt extension. Download the file as normal, save it and then rename it by cutting off the .txt bit but leave the .gpx bit. All should then be good.

It has 12 stop off points, which I have tried as best I could to mark on the route. You'll no doubt need to do a bit of local jiggling about or even... walking!

Uncharacteristically, I have left the shaping points in, which might make it easier for bods to amend to suit their own purposes.

I must teach myself how to download the routes to my satnav some day. Then I can take advantage of the work you put into creating them

Uploading a route to a Garmin device is (near enough) the easy bit. There are lots of good video guides on how to do it. If you get stuck, the bods in the GPS section will sort you out.
 
I have a TomTom rider 2. Is it all much of a muchness? I don't even know if you can upload maps to a TomTom!

Thanks - I've stopped to take in that view a few times.
 
Thanks Richard, I am heading to the Circuit de Chimay for the Motos Classiques in July and will try some of this route. John
