Have a look at the routes of some of our events on Google Earth
a) Go to the Google Earth website,
download and install Google Earth (requires broadband internet access to
operate)
b) Save the Round Rotherham route file (right click on
this link, select Save Target As and save the file 06DEC09_RRR_GE_CP.kml to
a suitable folder, e.g. My Places in My Documents, the default folder for
Google Earth). This version of the Google Earth file has been updated
for the change of Event Centre to DVC Sports.
c) Open Google Earth and File Open the file you saved (or double-click to
open the file). You will see
the route with start, checkpoints and finish. (start and finish are very
close together to the north of the route; route is anti-clockwise) For
clarity, it is best to switch roads OFF (untick box).
d) When you exit Google Earth, decline the offer to save unsaved data, or
you will get it in duplicate next time.
Alternatively, select the Whiston-Ulley
route file for the trail race (8 km on 7 June 2006)
