To download the GPS waypoints, select the day from the list below. Then look for “Export”, it will then give you the option to download it in the following: TCX File, Google Earth or GPX File.
- Day 1: John O’Groats to Tongue.
- Day 2: Tongue to Carbisdale Castle.
- Day 3: Carbisdale Castle to Loch Ness.

I am thinking of doing a ride from Chester to Edinburgh in the summer. What were the roads like that you used between Chester and Carlisle? I also have a 705 and if you don’t mind sharing would you be able to send me your gpx file or maybe a link to the garmin connect site-if you have uploaded it!
Thanks

Hi Dave
I have full data from them days on the Garmin Connect website.
From Carlisle to Slaidburn, they are lots of hills to say the least. At one point, I was as high as 426 metres. So the highest point anywhere on the End to End cycle. It was the hardish day of the whole cycle. If I was you, I would break that day into two days.
From Carlisle to Slaidburn it was not 2 bad at all. Most of the roads where very good from what I can remember. Also not many hills 2 worry about.
It’s best to check out the stats:-
