I made something.....second attempt....
the last day of my cycle using the gpx file..
Left was Tarbet, Harris and the end (right) was the Butt of Lewis lighthouse, there's about 75 miles of up and downs there...
Much better than rings :laugh:

Porridge was superb as usual...
I have some gpx files of Munros but finding them could be a nightmare.
Just had first rain of the day 0.5 mm,
hedge done earlier with Mrs M...
I'll check my GPS if I can find it......
Off for some scran......
Looks good. Is that your second attempt at printing(Earlier disaster accounted for) or were it your second attempt at what it were for?
A fair few up's n'downs that'll not be shown I bet! Doesn't look 75 miles long...
Agreed, much better than rings.

Well, the "chef" would say that, wouldn't they.
You convert the gpx files to one that can be printed?
Would you do the whole Munro, or just your path up it, as above.
Rain hit here around two, leaving more than you've had so far.
That the hedge done and dusted until next time.
Grab yer scran whilst you can...

It packs lots of GPX data into 75 miles...
It was a tough start but an interesting day, I originally planned Tarbet to Callanish Stone Circle then back next day to finish it but decided to just head on, glad I did as it gave us a day in Stornoway area looking up family addresses (Mrs M ancestors), taking about maybe a return next year, no cycling though.....

I would use the actual GPX track I took on the day, I did a Helvellyn one just to test I was doing it correctly...all legit hiked..
My other GPX files are 'lost' in a mass of files not labelled....
I'll do one more.. Mull or Anglesey....
Quite a bit can be done with maps, going to look more into it....

Hedge was a light trim so as not to square it but keep it a bit all over the place...
Looks like a brekkie and pint tomorrow...

The print?
A fair representation of your days efforts.
A mainly uphill start to your days travels. Twice as far as you'd planned, were you able to sleep that night.
Return to carry on the ancestor hunting again.
So, it'd be like the piece pictured, elevation only. Not your actual route up and back. Could you do it in two parts. The first the mountain, the second, in a different colour, being your route?
A heap of unamed files. Could you sort through by date to get the required file(s).
You appear to have found your next projects, or did they find you?

Just a tidy up of pieces sticking out? Not too much to pick up afterwards.
Brekkie is always a good idea for the morning. Pint or no pint.

I had a look at B&B and hotel prices last night,
I suggested a tent to Mrs M...
Guess the reaction?
If I win the lottery....

All my cycles from many years ago are still there...
I could contact my partner in crime for the main ones....
I will have another look later.
I could do it in different colours..
forgot how to pause it :laugh:
Nope, just the elevation, but there are methods to do your route, I'm just interested in elevation tbh.
Just to look at and remember, I never did dates or other infos..
Pint is essential now :laugh:

You pitched up in yer garden overnight.
Suppose it doesn't turn up, what'll tha do?

I still have a one-man tent I can use..
I was actually looking at my camping stuff the other week,
Offering son-in-law first, then maybe a local charity shop.
I've grown soft...
I'd need a portaloo:laugh:

Getting a bit on the steep side these days. Especially if there's few or no hotels in the immediate area. They seem to think they can charge hotel prices without offering the same standards.
Did you let her see the B&B prices, or tell her that she could have the inflatable mattress?
You'd buy a new tent...
Camping can be quite luxurious these days. Nothing like lightweight camping of years gone by.

All yer cycle routes on yer desktop/laptop!
Partner in crime has a better set of records than thaself...
I was thinking more along the lines of a 3D print of the hill, with your route in a different colour printed on it. Sounds like an awful lot of pausing and changing colours required for that. It'd have you on tenterhooks(printed by yourself) just waiting.
Never kept conditions/weather record, ie, wet and windy, heatwave, or winter or summer!
You'll have had that pint by now...

So Mrs M can stay in the B&B, you in your tent, to cut down costs.
I did similar with mine. Told some of it should be donated to a museum. Forty years ain't that old!
If there's only yourself camping you get the inflatable mattress.
Bedpan, as I can't see you getting a portaloo in yer tent.

Spent three hours reclaiming hillwalking gpx tracks..
Got a few back out of hundreds of uploaded tracks..
My printer can't do the colour thing, el cheapo.
Just made 12 cut off for brekkie as had other business to attend to,
pint was most welcome and tasty....

Be just as economical sharing a double..
Chanty, you can't beat a chanty :laugh:
Plenty of wild camping and magical sunsets.
One thing I miss here is the amazing sunsets looking W from the old hoose....
I keep too many records of stuff....
like
what the WX was like from tomorrow one year ago...for the next week

How long do you think it'd take to reclaim them all, d'you reckon... Days, weeks...
Not even one on top of another. Print one colour(The Hill), t'other colour(Your path taken). Or am I expecting too much from your printer?
Wasn't one of those places doing "an all day breakfast", were it. Good that you made it in time though. Other business taken care of before the pint was partaken?

Suppose you might be right about sharing a double being cheaper. Helps if you know the person you're sharing with.
Sea Chanty?
It's the simple things that were taken for granted, when we had them, that we miss the most.
You miss the wild camping...
One day you'll look back at all you've kept and ask yourself "Did I really keep all that!" Swiftly followed by "Why?"
It were warmer, here, today than it shows for a year ago tomorrow. And it's supposed to get warmer as the weekend approaches.

That was all I could find in the Endomondo backup..
I found the main ones though....
I could invest heavily in another printer but cannot justify what use I would get out of it tbh
Mine doesn't do the multi-colour print (that I know of), but if I did move up a grade or two, who knows...

I keep asking myself the question 'WHY?'.
I do my plane-related tasks and the CubeSat tasks as well. Sad or what :ohmy:

Chanty?
