Could Google Maps Be Used To Find The Distance Between Ormeau Bridge In Belfast And Shaw's Bridge...

[sandyRoe]

...on the southern outskirts of the city?

[sandyRoe]

I'd guess it's about 5km.

[waterboatman]

In short. Yes.

[sandyRoe]

I'll try later on my desktop. I'm just using a Hudl at the minute. Most of it would be along a towpath.

[Tilly2]

That's by car, Hans. Sandy wants to walk along the towpath.

[Booldawg]

I use a very good mapping website www.gpsies.com

You can 'draw' your route out, its gives you the distance and includes footpaths and bridleways on its map tile. Can also export to gpx if you have a Garmin.

Have used it for all the bike rides I do.

[Tilly2]

That looks like a useful website, Booldawg. Thanks for that. I have added it to my Bookmarks.

[Tilly2]

Sandy must have gone for a walk.

....training for the Pilgrimage.....

[sandyRoe]

My rucksack, at 12lbs, is too heavy. I'll have to reconsider what I need.

Take the toffee tin out, Sandy.

[sandyRoe]

I'll get a sleeping bag liner instead of the lightweight sleeping bag, a smaller water bottle, and not take the camera and sandals.
The toffee tin would be a sacrifice too far.

[Tilly2]

You must take the camera!

[Tilly2]

Could you take a little wheeled suitcase?
