All distances
and ascents are taken from Memory Map which has been used to record the route.
Other electronic mapping software or GPS devices may vary.
All distances and
ascents have been measured in metric units, converted and rounded to imperial
values.
All stage distances
have been rounded to the near 100m (or tenth of a mile) and ascents have been
rounded to the nearest 10 feet.
All compass
bearings are magnetic.
This
route description should be used in conjunction with Ordnance Survey Explorer
Maps 300, OL26 & OL27 required for the route. Note: that some of the
moorland tracks differ on the ground from the rights of way marked on the map.
Please
make sure all gates are closed to avoid livestock from escaping.
Remember the NYM 100 passes through rural farm land and this land is someones
livelihood!
Take
Care on Roads! The NYM100 route crosses numerous minor roads, and the
occasional major road, and there are some stretches that involve walking along
minor roads for short distances. Please take care, and watch out for traffic
when walking on or crossing roads at all times, and, if at night, ensure you
have your torches on.
