Below is my first pass at going through my memeory and track log for comments on the RD and GPX. I havent attempted to rationalize the list. The numbers refer to the section of the RD
1.2 The gap in the hedge is at TQ843101 not TQ835102 as in the GPX
1.2 The GPX track takes a different route to the RD at TQ837103 and goes north of the bushes before decending to the wooden posts
1.2 GPX track diverges from the RD at TQ843106, OS map is correct.
3.1 TR out of CP
3.3 At churchyard there are 2 KGs to exit, the wrong one is the first one you see as it is directly visible when you enter the churchyard. Exit is via KG in RH wall.
4.2 At TQ894296 where the field narrows there is a pair of breading swans. Just off the track, and the male was
not happy with 40 off walkers going past, and was closing range on me. In 3 weeks with possible chicks in the nest it is going to be furious. Suggest some orange barrier fence may be worth putting up there to keep the walkers away and give him some comfort.
4.3 I know one person went wrong at the start of this section. Should be ?TR and SO for 150yds?
5.2 At TQ896331-TQ899328 the GPX track heads significantly to the right of the ROW which is used by the RD.
6.4 Initiall I went L on the wrong RD at Poplar Hall
6.4 TQ979254-TQ981255 the GPX track crosses the drain early compared to the RD, the OS map is the route I followed.
6.9 TR061238 ? Field of doom
10.3 TR187357 RD goes straight down the ROW, not TR as in the GPX, not sure that is a viable route.
11.2 The GPX takes East St behind the Mariner, and not the RD (the two routes soon join up)
11.2 At ?ECP f-post on L, TL up bank.? The GPX track continues up the old costal path route (closed?)
11.2 Feel there are 2 top cnrs, The RD feels it is refering to one a bit up the track.
11.2-11.3 TR241370-TR241373 The GPX track significantly deviates from the route and passes through the Martello Tower
11.4 The GPX trak does not match the route on the ground. The Clipper was not at the track junction.
11.7-11.8 Did not find the turnings as marked, I ended up going ahead into the open access area and then crossing back across to the FP. Initial section GPX down from the top does not match the GPX, taking a direct path missing the TR at diversion sign.
12.1 Directed route from marshals was not the same as the GPX
12.3 Path down Broadless Bottom does not match the GPX.
12.5 GPX track turns L through trees befor ethe white bungalow, no route visible at that point.
13.1 GPX track does not exit CP via the veranda
13.2 GPX track does not follow a visible route, OS map RoW correct.
13.3 Failed to find the route onto the shared use path at TR378500, complex junction of tracks there which made little sense in the dark. Ended up returning back onto the RD (at that time I took the RD as the path) and following that until realised what I had done and manged to get back onto the shared use path.
15.2 GPX track turns late compared to the rouet through the cemetery.
16.1 Exiting from Manor Farm around the chained double LMG?s was interesting, slight deviation on the GPX to the route I took at that point.
I will say that as it stands anyone attempting to follow the route using *only* the current GPX file will have significant difficulties and may well fail to find the route
