Why won't mapsourc e open this? Say's it won't open subsequent file or something or other
I'm V9 and thought it was all backward compatible.
Techies to the rescue???

How do folks, on the off chance I can get next weekend off can I come, maybe camping? 
Also a slight route change I suggest, when you get to Calderbridge turn right and go over Cold fell. I`ll try & sort out a mapsource route soon & send it to squid if thats ok?

It might be you need to visit the garmin website to update the mapping.
I think the last update was in December.

Hi Lee,
We originally limited the numbers to 6 camping (because campsites don't want groups as a rule) and 10 for the road ride for practical purposes.
If there is space due to anyone dropping out then you'd be welcome. I have one other on the reserve list.
As you know the area would you be interested in leading the ride?
The route I am going to stick to now as some people have downloaded it. I'm sure there are many more interesting possibilities but we can save these for the next run. Appreciate the info though
Please put your name in bold if you're still coming
There are others interested so can you please PASTE AND COPY the last version of this highlighting your name in BOLD to confirm.
Thanks Rob
The camping I have agreed with the site and advised them of 6 tents. The B&B or bunkhouse on site you are free to phone and book for yourselves. If we can squeeze you in I can ask if another camper is ok.
Camping Fri and Sat night

I expect to arrive in the afternoon. If the tents are there but no tossers you'll not get a prize for finding us in the pub
Fixed
12 would be easy enough to accomodate Squid. I'll ride back marker and make sure everyone stays together.
Anyone know why the route won't work with my mapsource yet????

Those on the wanting a place can you confirm before we have 12 riders and also let me know what your aim would be with regards to stopping over.

Hi all, Yep I'm still coming, however I may not stay on the Sat night as I might have to go to Andover on Sunday (don't know yet).
Squid, I don't mind leading the ride on Saturday, if no other takers. What time are you leaving on Friday? I thought I might ride up with you if you don't mind the company.....
Ok good man
Did you check for updates on mapsource?
No worries.
Updates downloaded and guess what......................it works
Cheers fella
Good man
I am in Newcastle-u-Lyme so will join the motorway at J16. I was thinking of setting off around 11.00am giving time for a steady ride between the motorway exit and the campsite.
You are more than welcome to join me if the time suits you

Are we wearing name badges so we can work out who the hell everyone is? Unless, of course, you've used your real name as your ID.
If you want to know a little more about the "real" me, so you can work out whether to pretend you've just turned up at the campsite by coincidence, have a look at my website.
I used to sail quite a lot and most people were known by their first name and then the name of their boat. Does it work like that here - name and bike?
