I will be adding links to the attractions mentioned on the run sheets during the week leading up to The Rally,

I suggest you down load the routes just before setting off, so you have the most up to date edition

Looks like a nice route, shame there is not km’s on the route. Maybe on the others, just a thought.

Any chance of road names/numbers for the route or GPS co-ordinates of the turns?

I have tried to recreate the route so I can follow it on my Garmin but it is almost impossible to identify the locations or which roads to take from the instructions.

Trying to identify places by cross referencing Google Maps and Garmin Basecamp is not straightforward :frowning:

Unless I buy OS maps of the area I won’t have a chance of finding the route.

Looking forward to the rally and driving on some of the routes on the Saturday.

I printed of the Stately Homes route to use. Unfortunately I found it very confusing and would be difficult to follow. After a couple of hours work I’ve made up a google map of what I understand to be the route. As I don’t come from this area I can’t guarantee that its correct but hopefully it’ll help others to understand the route.

Great job Ian.

I was able to export your route from Google Maps as a “.KML” file and import it into Garmin Basecamp.

Perfect.

7

I spent an hour doing a Garmin route too, from a different start and finish as we are staying at the Holiday Inn Express, Rotherham North.

8

watch out for the average speed cameras on the A616 Stocksbridge Bypass.

I hope to have the runs from the rally area completed by Sunday 17th night

They are all start and finish close to the M1

Once I have made a couple of amendments to the route later today I will change the ‘units’ and download the route in Km’s for you

I remember doing a treasure hunt which was in miles in an imported car - it was a real pain !!

 

11

A lot of the roads are minor roads ‘yellows’ which do not have road numbers, unfortunatly the program I am using does not have a co ordinates option, I will try to add post codes for the village (pubs?) the run takes you through, I hope this will help you

See my post further down on this topic - Burton

I have opened the link to the route. It seem like a good day out, but I’m totally confused. What and where is the Taybarn? Which way do you go to get to the Mustardpot from the Taybarn.

The map at the botom of the page has all the instruction merging together.

Andrew.

Update to my last post, hope this is helpful. Note: This is not my area so may not be 100% correct.

Thanks again IanN.

2 more routes  downloaded from Google Maps as “.KML” files and imported into Garmin Basecamp.

Now to decide which to drive Smile

Taybarns is an all you can eat place, it sits on large roundabout along with shell garage and a McDonalds, where A61 and A616 meet.

If your heading north on the M1 take Junction 35a A616 - signposted Manchester or junction 36 A61 west, heading south on M1 again Junction 36 take A61 west Taybarns sits on the first main roundabout.

Taybarns to Mustard pot - take A616 heading to Manchester turn off to the left - signposted Midhopestones you’ll not miss the Mustard pot. 

Hope this helps! :slight_smile:

Thanks for posting, interesting routes, hope the weather holds

Another speed camera warning!!!

The Oil Can Cafe run - though there will be other speed cameras on the route, watch out between section 19 to 23 - on the A642 to & from the Mining Mueseum, it is a 50mph road which drops to 40mph on approach to the mining museum and there are enough cameras to get a ban!

There is also a nice family run Garden Center and Cafe just past the mining museum - about half a mile - on the left called Horticenter & The Seed Room Cafe.

Also just before the end of that run is the Yorkshire Sculpture Park, on the right on the A637 after you’ve passe through West Bretton.

 

oh and just a bit of trivia for the folks not familiar with Emley Moor Mast - it’s the tallest free standing structure in the UK - taller than the Shard and is a Grade II listed building.

Hello

 

Can I ask one question, will routes be printed out for people to pick up on the Saturday, not sure if anyone has asked that question all ready. Because it would be helpful if we had printed routes which have been planed.
